Presentation

Systems agronomist for the development of tropical and Mediterranean regions by training, I have worked at different spatial and temporal scales, with various private and public organisations, in Western and Central Africa, and Europe.

My research has focused on analysing resource use at farm, cropping system and field levels, drawing on farmers' knowledge to identify low-input alternatives that improve labour productivity and livelihoods of farm families.

Subsequenltly, working on topics such as crop diversification, pesticide-free agriculture and the sustainability of plastics sparked my interest in value chains, and agri-food and socio-technical systems.

I am now engaged at the science-policy interface, coordinating multidisciplinary and critical analyses of academic knowledge requested by government authorities on complex issues related to agriculture, food and the environment (we refer to these analyses as Collective scientific assessments, or CSAs for short).

What I can bring to this network ?

Together with Océane Espin, we can connect the community with our colleagues, activities and analyses at INRAE’s Directorate for Expertise, Foresight and Advanced Studies (DEPE) in France.

What I seek in this network ?

Collaboration, knowledge exchange, reflexivity.
Discussions around methods, their applicabiliy and development to the implementation of CSAs (problem formulation with actors and scientific experts, system(s) definition, critical analysis of the literature by crossing disciplinary perspectives, synthesis of knowldedge and conclusion with key messages for policymakers and wider society).
