Currently I am Associate Professor at the Department of Food and Drug of the University of Parma, where I teach in the field of economics applied to the agri-food system.

My research activity focuses on the analysis of the economic aspects of the sustainability of agri-food systems, and on the analysis of consumer behavior of food and novel food products.

I believe that the work of teachers and researchers who, like us, work in this field, together with companies, institutions and civil society players, must necessarily consider the challenges that our society is facing in the transition towards more sustainable production and consumption models.
