I have a PhD in rural development studies and now work as senior lecturer in Environmental Communication at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences. I specialize on the relations between smallholders’ farming practices and agricultural discourses, policies and technologies targeted at smallholders. Empirically my research concerns 1) smallholders’ experiences with new biotechnologies, 2) smallholders’ knowledges and practices in crop and livestock farming and the interaction between local and formal knowledge and 3) local livelihood effects of climate compensation technologies and policies. Geographically most of my research is located in Uganda and South Africa.
