Walter is an agricultural economist with academic and industry experience working at the intersection of forecasting, agribusiness and trade policy. In my career, I have conducted economic analysis across several food supply chains, including corn, soybeans, rice, cocoa, beef cattle, and the citrus industry.
I am passionate about using data to inform decision-making in the food and agricultural industry. I have developed forecasting models using remote sensing, machine learning and econometric techniques. I have experience using R, Python, and @RISK software for data analysis and simulations. I have developed strong communication and statistical skills.
I’m confident my skills can make a positive impact in the food and agriculture industry.
