Biography
My scientific career has focused on the sustainability assessment of agrifood systems with a multicriteria perspective. I have wide experience in the holistic analysis of farming systems, using economic, social and environmental indicators to provide a comprehensive understanding of the primary sector through a systematic vision. I have worked with special emphasis on exploring synergies and trade-offs among the different impacts of agrifood systems, paying particular attention to livestock systems through different approaches (sustainability frameworks, LCA, One Health perspective, participatory processes, policy analysis, etc…). I am particularly interested in exploring the interactions amount different indicators and their implications in different socioeconomic and territorial contexts to identify transition pathways.
