Dr. Mullally, who joined the University of Florida in 2013, focuses his research on development economics in small-scale agriculture and livestock production. In addition to being an associate professor within the Food and Resource Economics Department, he also serves as an affiliate faculty member within the Global Food Systems Institute.
