My research mission is to develop integrated sustainability assessments models to support the design of restorative and regenerative food systems to sustain ecosystem and human health.

My research is centered around the development of system level life cycle assessments models combining nutritional value with environmental and human health impacts of food systems and its transition into circular resource management and food processing technology designs. From a systems value point of view, nutritional, environmental and human health impact are addressed by including nonmarketed ecosystem services in LCA. This implies the research into industrial ecology designs that mimic nature through 1) emission capture, utilization and sequestration and 2) exchange resources with the natural environment to decarbonize the Climate System, restore ecosystem health and resilient societies through increased self-supply within local circular (bio-)economies.
