Profile Summary

Environmental Scientist finishing a three-year research project (PhD) focused on the conceptualisation and planning of sustainable and resilient urban food systems, with an emphasis on the role of local food initiatives. I am interested in urban areas' processes and dynamics and how they can be more sustainable and resilient. I want to explore new pathways for cities in order to face climate change and creating circular economies. I had previous experiences collaborating in projects on climate change adaptation (water systems and coastal areas), energy efficient buildings, forest conservation, and cleaner production.
