Biography


Riikka Armanto is an ecologist wanting to embrace proactive creation of hoped-for futures. She studies farmers’ agency and futures consciousness and how to strengthen them in future workshops. Even though the intriguing nature of alternative yet-not-existing futures stole her heart and made her jump from experimental ecology to qualitative research, she still feels very warmly about invertebrate interactions and biodiversity in agricultural ecosystems.
