Silvert has devoted his career and research to community-based international extension, specifically with the goals of reversing entrenched socioeconomic and gender inequality structures and facilitating inclusive income generation opportunities for family and small-scale farmers located in low-income regions.
He partners with extension and agricultural educators, farmers, value chain actors, community leaders, and research institutes in Maryland and throughout the world to tackle issues that include building capacities in program design and evaluation, commercialization of specialty crop and smallholder farming systems, inclusive and gender transformative change approaches, and urban and residential landscape conservation.
