I am a graduate engineer in horticultural science, and I oriented my doctoral study to agricultural science with a focus on agricultural economics. I am a researcher at the Laboratoire d'Economie Rouen Normandie (LERN) and also working as an independent researcher in France on agricultural, environmental and development topics. Prior to my current activities, I worked as a researcher for the Le Havre Normandy University, Thünen Institute, European Commission and as an independent researcher in Canada. I am affiliated with the global research network PEP (Partnership for Economic Policy).
