Nancy Loria holds a Ph.D. in Environmental Science and possesses three years of postdoctoral research experience, with a focus on agriculture as a solution for climate and environmental challenges. She is actively involved in the C-FARM (Carbon Farming Alliance for Research and Management) project, which aims to enhance carbon sequestration in croplands, rangelands, and grasslands, aligned with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Her present work involves collaborating with Microsoft to develop a handheld device using in-situ soil carbon sensor technology. This device will provide real-time measurements of soil organic carbon content, empowering farmers to make informed decisions about carbon sequestration practices.
Moving forward, her research will concentrate on the long-term sustainability of mulch treatments on soil carbon dynamics. Additionally, she expresses eagerness to explore the quantification of greenhouse gas emissions reductions achieved through long-term carbon farming practices. Her passion lies in advancing sustainable agricultural practices and addressing the challenges of climate change. In her leisure time, she enjoys engaging in activities such as painting, gardening, and traveling to explore the wonders of nature.
