About me

My training has concerned the agricultural sector, in which the argument of the  environmental sustainability of the farms have been central for me. My  attention to these topics increased during the work experiences that I  carried out on farms where I had increased my awareness about the effects of  climate change. My master's degree thesis that I carried out, consisted in  the design of a micro-irrigation system.

My research

The scope of my research is to evaluate the effect of  the stresses over the growth of livestock-crop and the ruminal methanogenesis  activity. The radiation regime, in the Agroforestry system, will be assessed  with PAR radiometer. The HTS system will detect the changes in physiological  behaviours of the livestock-crop. The experimental part referring to the  zootechnical aspects will be carried out in the laboratory and in the open  field.
