Harpreet Kaur (Editor) Harpreet Kaur's research interest focuses on taking an ecological approach towards understanding functions and drivers within agroecosystems and applying this knowledge towards sustainable management of farming systems. At Agroparistech, she investigated the effects of agriculture on biogeochemical cycles at local and national scales. By quantifying how nutrients flow across various components of agricultural production, she seeks to evaluate the factors that lead to nutrient surpluses or losses. Her previous research work mainly focused on high altitude agriculture in the Indian Cold Desert. She holds a M.Phil in Environmental Sciences from the Jawarharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India, where she was a Senior Research Fellow funded by University Grants Commission, India.
