Inter- and trans- diciplinary reserch into food systems at different sclaes

About me

I am a social scientist who loves to work in inter- and trans- disciplinary projects in the agrifood sector. Recent projects have, for example, included the following issues: • Developing transdisciplinary research into agri-food systems, including interactions between the social sciences and the biological, environmental, engineering and the arts and humanities. • Understanding the societal drivers and impacts of agrifood systems on the environment and climate change • Understanding social drivers of pro environmental decisions and behaviors • Understanding how to facilitate and accelerate farmer, stakeholder and end-user adoption of emerging agrifood technologies and innovations (in the UK, resource rich and LMICs). • Developing qualitative, quantitative, and digital methodologies to understand attitudes and behaviors related to agrifood and climate security, including co-production methodologies. • Operationalizing scientific foresight regarding research agenda setting, policy and governance
