Since 1994, I have been affiliated with the professional organization of Agronomist and Forestry Doctors. I am a law court expert in the field of Rural and Real Estate Appraisal in accordance with International Valuation Standards (IVS). I have 25+ years of professional experience in the areas of agronomy, farms checking and auditing, land use change analysis and agricultural statistics. In my career I used ISO 14000 standards to manage environmental responsibilities in paper mills and other activities. Apart from my freelance work, I am a professor with 25 years of experience in Secondary Education, Technology, and previously in Rural and Real Estate Appraisal . I have also provided professional training courses for farming commissioned by public bodies.
My academic background includes a single-cycle master’s degree in Agricultural Sciences with technical-economic specialization and a postgraduate diploma in Cooperation with Developing Countries – both degrees were obtained from the University of Pisa. I also possess a postgraduate diploma in Environmental Science Education from the University of Turin, and a qualification as an accredited Environmental Auditor from the Research Consortium of Pisa. I have a PhD in progress at the Department of Agriculture, Food and Environment, University of Pisa. My research focuses on environmental and economic impacts of innovative tomato cropping systems in Mediterranean commercial greenhouses: the project is supported by a combination of funding from participating countries and the EU Horizon 2020 Programme.
