Postdoctoral Researcher (Agroforestry; Sustainable agricultural development; Decision theory; Anthropology not elsewhere classified)

Bonn, Germany

I use collaborative research and holistic analysis approaches to describe systems and model decision impact pathways. I work with diverse groups including researchers, food activists, small-scale farmers and indigenous communities to address issues of direct relevance and offer new lenses through which to view the development process. My work is related to decision theory, human ecology, ethnobotany and agrobiodiversity.
