I am a post-doctoral researcher at INRAE (French National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment), working at the CESAER lab in Dijon, France. My research sits at the intersection of agricultural economics and ecology, with a focus on quantifying the environmental footprint of farming systems using large-scale European data.
Before entering academia, I worked as a cook, farmer, and nutritionist — giving me a unique hands-on understanding of the food chain from farm to fork. I hold a PhD in Microbial Ecology and now apply quantitative methods to bridge the gap between environmental science and agricultural economics.
- Interdisciplinary Agri-Food Economist & Ecologist: Unique trajectory from hands-on practitioner to quantitative scientist, bridging physical environmental footprinting and economic valuation.
- Pathfinder in Large-Scale Agri-Environmental Assessment: Developer of the FADN2Footprint R package and the BVIAS model, translating European farm accountancy and spatial data into environmental footprints.
- Demonstrated Policy Impact: Appointed to an expert group for two French ministries, invited to present at DG Agri on FADN/FSDN.
- Strong Academic Communicator: 5 peer-reviewed articles in top-tier journals, presentations at international congresses.
