I achieved a master’s degree in International Relations at the University of Siena and a post graduate diploma in Sustainability of food system at the University of Torino. During my studies I have also attended courses focusing on the connection between the sustainability and the management of resources, with particular attention to the agriculture sector.
During five years of professional experience, I have worked in the management of European projects related to the development of rural areas, in the field of international cooperation, and in the valorization of PDO and PGI products.
Currently, I am involved, at the Department of Agriculture, Food and Environment at the University of Pisa, in the Granular project that focuses on the generation of datasets, tools and methods for rural areas through a Multi-Actor Approach.
