Richard Perrin has three main areas of research: productivity within agriculture and whom it benefits; how biofuels affect agriculture, climate and the environment; and the Ogallala Aquifer’s potential to sustainably feed the burgeoning world population. In 2017, Perrin and a team of professors were granted a $5 million grant to research the psychology of water use in agriculture. Perrin is a Jim Roberts Professor of Agricultural Economics at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
