ABOUT ME
I am a scientist and policy expert working to support the transition of livestock agrifood systems toward low‑emission and climate‑resilient pathways. My work sits at the interface of science, policy, and sustainability, with a strong focus on translating evidence into actionable climate and development solutions.
I am currently a Livestock Policy Officer at the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in Rome, where I lead and support initiatives on methane mitigation, greenhouse gas emissions, and environmental performance of livestock systems worldwide.
My work supports countries and international partners globally.
WHAT I WORK ON
My work addresses some of the most pressing challenges at the heart of food systems and climate change:
-
Reducing enteric methane emissions from livestock through science‑based mitigation strategies
-
Improving nitrogen use efficiency to reduce pollution while sustaining productivity
-
Developing robust measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) frameworks to support credible carbon markets and climate finance
-
Integrating livestock mitigation and adaptation into national climate strategies and NDCs
