    Dr. Catherine Campbell

    Assistant Professor

    (352) 273-3502 | cgcampbell@ufl.edu
    BIO

    Dr. Campbell is a sociologist specializing in behavioral research that examines the values, motivations, and decision making of food systems stakeholders. Catherine’s primary focus is research into human motivation and behavior, particularly as it relates farmers’ adoption of new technologies and practices, to individuals’ and communities’ interactions with food systems, and issues at the intersection of food systems and public health, such as food security and health outcomes. The ultimate goal of her research is to understand how policies and systems can be leveraged to foster more sustainable and resilient food systems from producer to consumer.

    Dr. Campbell’s Extension program is informed by her research and focuses on educating county Extension faculty, policymakers, and the private sector about how to develop and implement policies and programs to increase incentives and reduce barriers to entrepreneurial, profitable, healthy, local food production and consumption that builds communities.
