Work experience
I am soil scientist and agronomist and focus my studies on environmental impacts and protection of resources, especially soil, in agriculture. My strongest expertise is carbon sequestration in soil. Recently, I extended my portfolio on the perception of options and barriers for transition in soil management among different stakeholders of agricultural practice (incl. policy makers). Generally, as Head of the Coordination Unit Soil at the Thunen Institute, I am elaborating science based policy advices for sustainable use of soil in agriculture.
