PhD Research Topic
Evaluation of soil conservation on different scales: the impact of regenerative agriculture in the provisioning of Ecosystem Services within the CAP framework.
The focus of my PhD aims at analyzing the provision of Ecosystem Services by adoption of regenerative agriculture, and how European or national measures trickle down to their implementation and effectiveness in crop fields. The key aspect of my research is to assess the viability of regenerative agriculture as a solution to soil degradation maintaining economic sense and social consent through science.
