Legenda
Luigi is an interdisciplinary researcher with a PhD in sustainability science and resilience thinking. Luigi's expertise span from quantitative spatial analysis and modelling (GIS) and qualitative and participatory methods applied to the fields of sustainable agriculture and natural disasters with a special focus on Africa. Luigi develops methodological approaches to estimate the large-scale potential of scaling sustainable land and water management practices and assess the potential of sustainable farming from the country (e.g. Uganda) to the global scale. Luigi has field experience in Uganda, Angola and Italy, and represented the UN agency UNOSAT at the International conference on Climate Change Adaptation in Tanzania.
