About me
I am passionate about exploring the nexus between agriculture, environment, and society. My research addresses multiple factors influencing decisions shaping sustainability, resilience, and rural livelihoods.
I carry out research & consultancy for the agrienvironmental sector.
As a professional with an interdisciplinary background, I use a mixed methods approach to explore the complexities of global change related to food, agriculture, and environment decision-making.
I am available to collaborate on projects or research within my area of expertise. My interests are in the design and analysis of agroenvironmental policies, sustainable rural development, Agricultural decision-making, network analysis, environmental governance, and socio-environmental justice.
What I do
I use an applied and participatory approach, having experience designing, evaluating, and implementing public policies or government programs in institutions such as the Agricultural Ministry of Chile and Paraguay. I’ve also contributed to consultancies and projects for international cooperation organizations such as IDB, ECLAC, IICA, FAO, and GIZ across various Latin American countries.
