His training includes undergraduate and Master’s degrees in agricultural economics from the University of Guelph, and a Ph.D. in agricultural economics from Purdue University.

John is a noted expert on food economics and has been featured in over 70 television, radio and newspaper interviews. His research focuses on consumer behaviour economics and demand analysis at the individual, household and market levels.
