Schattman’s research aims to lead to agricultural resilience in a changing climate while simultaneously conserving and protecting natural resources. She works with specialty crop producers and agricultural advisors to identify and address production challenges, specifically through the lens of climate change adaptation. This approach is grounded in complementary traditions of agroecology and participatory action research. She teaches core courses in the University of Maine’s undergraduate sustainable agriculture major, including those on agroecology and sustainable food systems.
