About me

I am a critical human geographer, with a background in politics, sociology and planning. I work at the intersection between agroecological farmers' movements and urban food justice and sovereignty movements, exploring how to transform and recentre urbanisation models around the Earth stewardship role, and the social justice ethics of agroecological farmers. My recent work include the conceptualisation and implementation of an Agroecological Urbanism, with particular attention to four of its building blocks: Landed community kitchens, farming fragmented urban and peri-urban farmlands, political pedagogies for urban agroecology, and urban soil care.
