My work focuses on developing more inclusive ways of doing agribusiness. Driving it is the how can we ensure that all those who work in the agrifood sector can benefit structurally and fairly from the creation of one of humanities' basic tasty, healthy, ample food? To do that I focus on learning more effectively from inclusive agribusiness ventures to inspire, inform and influence new initiatives. I actively seek collaboration with others from any background to share approaches, findings, experiences; working together more effectively is also a strong interest. Structural change implies a more systems-oriented way of thinking and in recent years I am delving further into food systems thinking, transformation and transitions.

Recent work on food systems transformation includes working with IFAD on a food systems and poverty perspective as well as developing rapid analytical processes for understanding shocks to food systems.
