About
In my PhD thesis I compared environmental impacts and profitability of organic, conventional and integrated farming systems. I used modelling for designing farming systems that can reduce negative environmental impacts while producing high yields.
I also carried out a research project assessing the environmental impacts of cultured meat production. The journal paper has been published in Environmental Science & Technology. The online version of the paper is available here: http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/es200130u
I started a post-doc project at the European Union Joint Research Centre in October 2011. The project develops a carbon calculator to promote low carbon farming practices in the EU.
