Sanjay Lanka’s research interests are in the area of Social, Environmental and Supply Chain Accounting. His research is contributing to the development of a new sub-area of accounting which he calls Agroecology Accounting, which focuses on the relationship between Livelihoods and Biodiversity. Specifically this new area of accounting would look at issues related to how the ecosystem services provided by soil and agricultural biodiversity promote the Sustainable Livelihoods of small holder farmers. He looks at this within the context of the International food system with a specific focus on its impact on small holder farmers who produce 70% of the food with only 30% of the land. His work also critiques the practices of the agricultural-industrial food complex by providing an account of the impact that it has on the livelihoods of small holder farmers.
