Biography

I am an agroecologist working on multidisciplinary topics in farmland biodiversity conservation and sustainable food systems.


Research

Currently engaged in Horizon2020 EcoStack project research on whether some natural fungi can work as biological control to protect crops from pests and diseases.

Other research includes farmer-based research for understanding how to achieve on-farm biodiversity objectives.

2021 project: Pollinator-friendly farms: Advisory materials for farmers
