Current project: LIFT - Low-Input Farming and Territories - Integrating knowledge for improving ecosystem-based farming

The aim of the contribution is to assess at farm scale the impact of systemic changes, such as switching from conventional to organic farming on a set of sustainability indicators, using the FARMDYN for a range of cases studie.

Research interest

• Bio-Eonomic Modelling at farm-scale
• Organic agriculture
