Social aspects of agroforestry has been my main working outline since 2010, implementing agriculture and forestry-based market systems, livelihood diversification, and rural studies in general. Expanding interest and experience include social-ecological systems, change management in rural settings, and realist approaches for evaluation.

Research project: 
My PhD research is on change management, which specifically examines processes and path trajectories farmer producers in environmentally-challenged areas go through while managing change. The research setting is in Indonesia, particularly targeting agroforestry landscapes in the tropical drylands of west Timor. My research is funded by the CGIAR Research Program on Forests, Trees and Agroforestry (FTA) and the International Centre for Research in Agroforestry (ICRAF) Indonesia Country Programme.

• Agriculture and forestry-based market systems
• Gender in value chains
• Livelihood diversification
• Rural studies
• Change management
