My research primarily focuses on the relationship between food production and the environment, examining whether food systems can ensure food and nutrition security in the face of changing conditions. I analyse the links between agriculture and environmental factors, in particular the interactions between crop production, climate change, farming techniques and natural resources such as soil and water. I also explore how dietary changes and demographic trends influence food demand and assess the environmental impacts of these dietary shifts. I use a range of methods, mainly data analysis, GIS and mathematical modelling such as food system and crop modelling.

Past Projects:

Food System Adaptations in Changing Environments, Africa (FACE-Africa): I analysed climate change impacts on crops and agricultural adaptation strategies in West Africa. I estimated future food demand and supply in The Gambia using food system models and engaged with stakeholders to inform adaptation strategies.

Ongoing Projects:

• Accelerating Behaviour Change towards Sustainable and Healthy Diets in Europe (ABC-SHEADE): I analyse trends in the adoption of plant-based diets using supermarket data, assessing their environmental impact and the demographic factors driving this transition.
• Sustainable and Healthy Food Systems in Southern Africa (SHEFS-SA): I am exploring how underutilised crops can reduce the risk of crop failure and improve dietary diversity in South Africa, Malawi and Zimbabwe.
• Visibilize4ClimateAction in East Africa: I analyse future food availability under different climate and land use scenarios to explore their impact on nutrition and mental health of vulnerable populations in East African drylands.
