My research interests revolve around rural & urban ethnobotany and transculturation, food plants, ethnic markets, socioenvironmental evolution, participatory methodology, and theory and practice in ethnobiology. The geographical areas I have specialised in include Costa Rica and Panamá, Barcelona, and edible plants of mostly Chinese and Latin American origins. I am also currently studying cultural practices of conservation in collaboration with Amazigh communities in the Moroccan High Atlas, the Global Diversity Foundation (GDF) and the Moroccan Biodiversity and Livelihoods Association (MBLA).
