Onderzoeker

Cecilia Zagaria is a postdoctoral researcher at the Farm Systems Ecology Group of Wageningen University. She has pursued her B.Sc. studies in Environmental Geography at the University of York, followed by an M.Sc. in International Land and Water Management at Wageningen University. In 2022, she obtained her Ph.D. from the Department of Environmental Geography of Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam with a dissertation titled “Mapping and modelling adaptation in Mediterranean agricultural landscapes”. Her research has focused on assessing the multi-scalar drivers and impacts of agricultural land system change by means of participatory approaches and spatial (agent-based) modelling. Through these futures-oriented assessments, she has placed emphasis on acknowledging the role of differing stakeholder values on land system outcomes. Currently, her research is focused on co-creating a new monitoring and evaluation framework for agroecological practices in Europe alongside a diversity of land system actors, in contribution to the Agroecology-TRANSECT Project.
