I am an environmental scientist, holding a Double Master Degree in Environmental Science at the University of Copenhagen and the Swedish University of Agriculture (SLU), obtained in 2021, and a Bachelor Degree in Food Science at University of RomaTre. During my Bachelor I also had the chance to contribute to the research and development of the Food Policy in Rome, where I deepened my interdisciplinarity on food security, food policies, and short-food supply chains. Â
Throughout the years in Sweden (2019-2022), I focused my studies on sustainable food systems and food waste. I also worked as project manager in a private company, where I helped researching and developing an insect protein feed, based on recovered food waste. In 2023 I moved to Brussels, Belgium, where I worked at a European Federation as environmental consultant for one year, having background in life cycle assessment, where I explored the EU policies on food and agriculture. Â
In November 2023, I joined PAGE (Pisa Agricultural Economics) as a PhD student, where my research will concentrate on multi-stakeholder engagement, rural-urban relations, food waste prevention and food policies. Â
