About
As an Assistant Professor of Soil Chemistry and Fertility Dr. Katie Lewis is provided the opportunity to enhance the agricultural sustainability of the Texas High Plains region that is vitally important to both Texas and the nation, while helping educate future scientists, farmers, society, and policy-makers. She is continually striving to enhance her understanding of the critical challenges currently facing agriculture and society and to improve agricultural management practices of farmers facing production challenges. As the daughter of a South Texas farmer, she was introduced at an early age to the challenges of sustainable agriculture and how they affect society. As a research scientist and wife of a Southern High Plains farmer, she is more involved and dedicated as ever before. Research conducted in the Soil Chemistry and Fertility program at the Texas A&M AgriLife Research and Extension Center in Lubbock, TX, is designed to evaluate alternative soil and nutrient management practices which will improve economic and environmental sustainability of agriculture production.
