Research themes
My research aims to understand the role played by agrobiodiversity in the resilience of agroecosystems amidst global changes. I document changes in agrobiodiversity over time and analyze the interplay between their various drivers. Specifically, I investigate how (e.g., choices, seed supply and sources of information) and why (e.g., values, insurance effects) farmers manage, maintain, and experiment with various crop varieties. During my Ph.D., I focused on wine-growing systems characterized by significant but underutilized diversity of grape varieties. I employ an interdisciplinary approach in ethnoecology, at the intersection of ecological, agronomical, social and human sciences. I use a wide range of methods, including long-term fieldwork, surveys, modeling (R cran), GIS, social network analysis, and the mixing of qualitative and quantitative data.
