Research interests and duties

I am responsible of developing and leading inter- and transdisciplinary research on just sustainability transitions. My research focuses on the practice of environmental governance in sustainability transitions. I have lately concentrated on sustainability transitions in food systems. I am interested in developing the use of experimental action research in the study of sustainability transitions.
