I am a biologist with a master’s degree in Biological Sciences and a PhD in Agroecology from the Universidad Nacional de Colombia. My current research focuses on studying the mechanisms that encourage rural communities to increase their socio-ecological resilience. In particular, I am interested in developing capacity building processes with peasant farmers. My work aims to build co-innovation-oriented strategies focusing on articulation of territorial actors and integration of different types of knowledge. I am also interested in taking ecological factors into consideration in transforming agricultural management practices to achieve more sustainable agriculture that conserves biodiversity and its ecosystem services. I have been a researcher at AGROSAVIA since 2016, where I developed capacity-building projects with an agroecological approach for small and medium-sized farmers.
