Responsibilities
I am an urban planner, activist, and researcher in Public Policies, connecting Territorial Planning, Urban Food Systems, and Local Development, researcher at the FCSH - Universidade Nova de Lisboa, and affiliated to CICS.NOVA.
I co-founded the national network Feeding Sustainable Cities (2018), a knowledge dissemination network that brings together more than 550 members of the Portuguese food system. In 2022 a core group of the network founded ACSA–Alimentar Cidades Sustentáveis Associação, a national non-profit organisation which I am honoured to be the leader of.
As a European Climate Pact Ambassador, I want to raise urban planners’ awareness of the need to integrate better food and agriculture related measures into Climate Strategies and Plans. As part of the awareness campaign, I will hold workshops in the school of architecture and planning and develop two publications to be available online both in Portuguese and English: Manual for food planners; Guidelines for Food Campaigners Champions.
