Our global food system is today facing severe challenges in terms of negative impacts on planetary boundaries, nutritionally inadequate diets, and social inequalities due to the highly industrialized and globalized nature of food production and consumption practices. Coping with these challenges will likely require transformative change, moving towards a food system that is largely plant-based, community supported and regenerative.

My research focuses on the role of policymaking in enabling a sustainable food transformation, with a particular focus on socially and ecologically sustainable diets. Using agent-based modelling, I will investigate the effect of transformative policy interventions on a Swedish citizen base through the theoretical lens of food democracy and sustainability transformations.

With an academic background in Environmental Engineering at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, I have gained a solid understanding of sustainability science, systems thinking, and transdisciplinarity, which sparked my interest to pursue an academic career and conduct a PhD in Sustainability Science at Stockholm Resilience Centre.
