About me

Before this PhD, I did an internship at ENEA on Circular Economy and a research scholarship at CREA on Social Agriculture. I am currently part of the Bioeconomy in Transition Research Group at UnitelmaSapienza. My aim is to  acquire knowledge and tools to be able to contribute to research on  environmental issues and to become an expert on the economic and social  aspects related to biodiversity conservation.

My research

My research projects has the goal to unravel the impact of the food system on  biodiversity and to understand how to nudge consumers through more  sustainable choices. After assessing the impact of the food system on  biodiversity through a literature review and an LCA applied to a case study I  will quantify the social cost associated to biodiversity loss and analyse  whether this information influece consumers or other measures are needed.
