His postdoctoral research is linked to Noragric’ s project :‘Greenmentality: A Political Ecology of the Green Economy in the Global South’, looking at what type of governance does the unfolding green economy lead to in the Global South, how does it influence rural production systems and how do rural people respond to its implementation.
