Bridging Lived Experience and Actionable Knowledge
My research uses pragmatic and interpretive approaches to transform how stakeholders navigate their information environments. By linking lived experience with evidence-based interventions, I co-develop context-sensitive solutions that strengthen agricultural livelihoods, foster resilient agri-food systems, and promote environmental stewardship.
Research Questions
RQ 1: How does misinformation shape decision-making and trust in agri-food systems, and what strategies can advisory and extension services use to counter it?
RQ 2: What factors influence the adoption of sustainable technologies and practices across different agri-food contexts, from aquaculture to crop systems, and how can pluralistic advisory methods support these transitions?
RQ 3: In what ways can knowledge transfer, digital tools, and interdisciplinary collaborations strengthen resilience and equity in agri-food systems facing climate change?
