O autorze

Timothy M. Gieseke’s interdisciplinary career is reflected in the research and insights of his writings. A master’s degree in environmental sciences is a cornerstone for his perspective on agriculture sustainability. He also brings experience in agriculture production, governmental experience in conservation planning, policy analysis at state and federal levels, political endeavors, and agribusiness management. With this near panoramic view of landscape sustainability, Tim recognized the need for a transdisciplinary approach to enable practitioners and policy-makers to transcend and blur the lines between their traditional organizational boundaries. He has carried this vision through several of his local to global efforts. He is the author of the book Shared Governance for Sustainable Working Landscapes published by CRC Press in 2016.
