overview
Dr. Genhua Niu is a professor in Urban Agriculture at the Texas A&M AgriLife Research Center in Dallas. Her research focuses on the development of culture information and best management practices related to urban agriculture, which is the science of crop production in an urban setting using a variety of controlled environment agriculture (CEA) technologies in an urban setting. Prior to this position, Dr. Niu was a professor in urban landscape water conservation at Texas A&M AgriLife Research Center in El Paso. Up to October 2019, Dr. Niu has published 131 refereed journal papers, 18 book chapters, 49 proceedings papers, and 23 technical extension articles and edited 3 books. She is the author and editor for the Plant Factory - Indoor Vertical Farming book. She has received several awards from American Society for Horticultural Science, USDA-NIFA, and Texas A&M University.
