Additionally, he has experience in biodiversity conservation and plant genetic resources. His previous research seeks to understand personal motivations, political incentives and institutional frameworks to gear the transition from the dominant industrial food system towards a fairer and more sustainable one, developing a rationale for considering food as a commons and advocating for a binding legal agreement to end hunger.
