Liz Khomenkov

While pursuing a B.S. in Conservation Biology and Environmental Studies with a certificate in Public Policy at UW-Madison, Liz discovered her passion for sustainable agriculture, especially when it comes to helping farmers adjust to the ever-changing climate. Liz’s graduate work in the Kaufman Lab for Food Systems will focus on the impacts of growing climate-smart commodities for both farmers, farmers markets, and the land. Through hands-on work with farmers across the country, she will investigate the effects of cover cropping on soil health, farmer wellbeing, and the marketability of farmers’ products.
