Richard S. Feldman I teach a variety of courses in environmental science and biology, described below. My current research concerns environmentally-sound food production, at a small vegetable farm. Marist students assist me with weed control research there. My previous research concerned effects of acid rain on streams, and the accumulation of PCBs in Hudson River fish. Produces food without use of pesticides or manufactured fertilizers, and reduces reliance upon fossil fuels.
