"I am interested in both agricultural production per se and the interface of agriculture with other societal issues, such as nutrition, biodiversity, food waste and subsistence. The business world has been talking about the "circular economy" for a long time. Closing loops at farm or regional level would be a first important step towards a more independent and sustainable farming sector."
