Claire Kremen, President’s Excellence Chair in Biodiversity and Professor of Conservation Biology, University of British Columbia
An ecologist and applied conservation biologist, Kremen's research focuses on reconciling agricultural production with biodiversity conservation. Kremen’s work examines how agricultural diversification supports wild species, enhances ecosystem services such as pollination and pest control, and improves the sustainability and profitability of farming systems. She previously held faculty positions at Princeton University and University of California, Berkeley, where she founded the Center for Diversified Farming Systems and helped lead the Berkeley Food Institute. A 2007 MacArthur Fellows Program recipient and winner of the 2020 Volvo Environment Prize, Kremen is widely recognized for advancing science-based solutions that support both biodiversity and sustainable food systems.
