About me
I am a geographer focused on gender, livelihoods, agriculture and pastoralism. My fieldwork includes Romania, California, Ghana, Nigeria and Kenya - including pastoralist areas in Marsabit County. At the German Institute for Tropical and Subtropical Agriculture, I engage in action research methodologies as part of a transdisciplinary approach to cultivate increased collaboration between diverse stakeholders whose activities make up food chains; from growing food to eating food. I focus on issues of inclusion and exclusion and how to cooperate to create more diverse and equitable economies.

I lead an internationally dispersed team of 10+ professionals who maintains the Land Portal, a global leading, free and open data & information platform on land governance, land management, land use.
