Research interests

No humans without a functioning nature. Gross neglect is threatening to unbalance it and deprive us of our livelihoods. The solutions are complex and demanding. As part of the CROPDIVA*-Horizon 2020 project, I am doing my best to foster the cultivation of underrepresented legume species (Lupinus angustifolius, Lens culinaris) as well as oats in mixed cropping systems, aiming at the implementation of more resilient and low-input crop production in Switzerland.
