I have interdisciplinary expertise on ecosystem restoration and agriculture in human-dominated landscapes. I have particular strengths in analyzing environmental governance processes and in understanding their social outcomes (wellbeing, social equity, justice). My specific interests include agrobiodiversity as a potential component of nature-based solutions.

I am looking for partners with expertise on topics of ecosystem restoration, agroecology, or regenerative agriculture. I am also interested in people with broad understanding of climate change adaptation and resilience in rural areas. The project that I am organizing focuses on nature-based solutions in rural, human-inhabited landscapes where agriculture is an important livelihood and cultural practice. My goal is to understand how nature-based solutions can contribute to resilient rural communities. I am looking for interdisciplinary researchers and partner organizations who can help advance understanding of the social-ecological dimensions of nature-based solutions to ensure that projects are effective in meeting social and environmental goals. I would also be interested in joining projects that share these goals.
