In July 2023, Lindsey joined the American Farmland Trust, working on NRCS NRDA and RESTORE projects in South Texas. Her efforts focus on helping farmers implement nutrient reduction practices to protect the Gulf of Mexico. Lindsey’s has an M.S. in Earth, Environment, and Sustainability Sciences and a B.S. in Biology from University of Texas – Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV). Her journey in agriculture started in 2014 when she joined the Agroecology program where she spent 8 years conducting on-farm research and outreach. She tested using biodegradable mulches to deter pests in tomatoes, conducted extensive on-farm cover crop trials to collect practical, region-specific data on soil health, and incorporated native plants as insectary strips to enhance natural enemy populations and beneficial soil microbes. Lindsey enjoys engaging with the community to foster a positive connection between people, food, the land, and the farmers who provide it. Throughout her undergrad, she managed the first certified organic research garden on a Texas university campus and established UTRGV’s campus farmers market to increase student access to fresh local produce. Lindsey entered a new chapter in her life when she became a boy mom in 2024 and on her free time likes to take sunset walks on the beach, host tea parties with fresh flowers, and support local businesses, including her husband’s restaurant Hopper Haus.
