Food Economist | Clinical Dietitian

Welcome! I am a teacher-scholar of nutrition and food economics and a practicing clinical dietitian.

I teach nutrition and economics at Allegheny College. I hold an Honorary Lecturer appointment with Global Agriculture and Food Systems at the University of Edinburgh. My CV is available here.

You can find information about my work on this site (links to teaching, research, and presentations above), on Google Scholar here, and ORCID here. You can contact me directly at afinaret [at] allegheny [dot] edu. Socials are below. Fair warning that I am not a terribly invested or a very good social media poster.

Food Economics Textbook

Food Economics is now published, Open Access by Palgrave-Macmillan.

See the website for the book here: Teaching food economics

See Will Masters and I talking with Norbert Wilson on his podcast The Leading Voices in Food about the book here: Learning food economics makes all economics easier

Students and instructors, please reach out anytime with questions about the book and its associated course materials.

The text provides a unified introduction to the economics of agricultural production, business decisions, consumer behavior, and the government policies that shape our food system.
