Personal profile
I am a socio-economic and interdisciplinary researcher interested in sustainable agriculture. I have over ten years of experience in the economic and environmental implications of greenhouse gas reduction practices in agriculture, including the cost-effectiveness of mitigation practices, environmental co-effects, farmers’ perceptions and the development of policy instruments. My responsibilities include developing and leading research projects, supervising PhD projects and working with stakeholders.
