Research
My research interests are in the area of agriculture, environment and development, focusing on:
Education
My educational tasks include teaching the annual course on Environmental Economics for Environmental Scicnes and to contribute to the course Environment and Development. I did also coordinate the EU-funded education and research project Asia-Link-RECREATE and am the coordinator at Wageningen University for the EURASIA project.
