About Mónica's Work
I am a master's student in a double-degree Agroecology program in Norway (NMBU) and France (ISARA). My colleague and I are currently studying the phenomenon of land abandonment in a Swiss alpine region through a participatory research approach with local farmers and volunteers in the agricultural sector. We are interested in the role that Regional (subnational) Natural Parks can play to mitigate land abandonment by supporting the agricultural sector. We both have a background in Agricultural and Environmental Sciences from our Bachelor's degrees at McGill University (Montreal, Canada).
