My research interests lie in the area of sustainability and innovation, particularly looking at (i) ethical and sustainable practices in supply chains and responsible business models, and (ii) governance of agrifood global value chains and sustainable food systems. With a qualitative approach, my empirical interests involve Latin America/Brazil, emerging commodities in the Amazon region, agroecology, and organic production (not exclusively). I have experience and great interest in interdisciplinary research.
