My research focuses on understanding how the integration of multipurpose forage-based fallows can restore soil health and support multiple ecosystem services in the Peruvian Andes. This work recognizes the important role that farmers and local knowledge play in preserving agricultural landscapes and maintaining long-term soil fertility. My work seeks to understand the social and economic drivers that determine the management of multipurpose fallows as well as their implications for soil biological processes and nutrient budgets across a range of environmental and social contexts.
