Research interests

My research field is landscape agronomy, which concerns the application of agronomic approaches and knowledge to landscape issues. Since 2009 I've been involved in research dealing with the management of agriculture in urban and periurban areas. In this field, I'm particularly interested to:
-Agricultural practices in urban agriculture
-Hobby farmers and gardeners motivations
-Protection of agricultural lands in urban planning
-Assessment of food production for the city

National Case Study

COST is supported by the EU Framework Programme Horizon 2020
COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) is a pan-European intergovernmental framework. Its mission is to enable break-through scientific and technological developments leading to new concepts and products and thereby contribute to strengthening Europe’s research and innovation capacities. It allows researchers, engineers and scholars to jointly develop their own ideas and take new initiatives across all fields of science and technology, while promoting multi- and interdisciplinary approaches. COST aims at fostering a better integration of less research intensive countries to the knowledge hubs of the European Research Area. The COST Association, an International not-for-profit Association under Belgian Law, integrates all management, governing and administrative functions necessary for the operation of the framework. The COST Association has currently 36 Member Countries. www.cost.eu
