Felipe Almeida
PhD Candidate, Agricultural Economics
University of Nebraska–Lincoln
I am interested in research in agribusiness, examining both broader topics—such as labor market dynamics and GDP performance—and more specific issues related to crop and livestock production, with a focus on their economic and environmental dimensions. More recently, I have also focused on biofuels, analyzing their economic and environmental implications. In addition, I am currently working on a project on beef sustainability in Nebraska, with an emphasis on carbon intensity and other environmental footprints associated with feed inputs.
