Profile

As a member of the joint Anthropology-FES-NYBG PhD program, my research explores the contributions made by agrobiodiversity (or native and traditional crops) to household food security and food culture in Cochabamba, Bolivia. My previous research explored the social, economic, and policy determinants of the conservation of maize diversity in Mexico.
