Work experience
I have more than 15 years teaching on environmental economics and politics topics, and more than 10 in the development and implementation of several programs and projects related to the assessment and monitoring of land degradation, desertification and mitigation of drought. Among the projects in which I have been participating. I’ll summarized the main ones: the elaboration of the bases of a National Plan for the adaptation and mitigation of Drought in Argentina; the coordination of the project "Increasing Climate Resilience and Improving Sustainable Land Management in the Southwest of the Province of Buenos Aires" executed together with the World Bank, with excellent results at subnational and local level, technical advisor of the project "Decision support for the Integration and Expansion of Sustainable Land Management", among others. I also have extensive academic training in management, identification and implementation of sustainable land management practices, environmental land use planning and conservation of ecosystem services.
