About me

I am an agricultural scientist by training with a strong inclination towards an interdisciplinary approach. I received a bachelor’s degree in Agricultural Sciences and a master’s degree in Food Production and Agroecosystem Management from the University of Pisa while also receiving complementary training as an honors student at Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna.

My research

Climate change is a huge challenge of current times and further delayed action will result in avoidable economic, social and environmental damages. The main objective of my project is to contribute to improve the scientific background regarding the sustainability of Agro-forestry practices providing strong qualitative and quantitative evidence to support claims of mitigation and adaptation potential.
