Soil Management and Climate Change

She has more than 15 years of professional experience in Rural Development and Environmental sector. Currently is carrying out R&D and technology transfer about the design of new technologies in the agricultural and livestock sectors, production systems, waste recycling, bioenergy and soil and landscape reclamation. Additionally, she has significant experience researching conservation and rural development, including climate change, pollution and risk assessments. She has been a specialized researcher in the United States. She has coordinated R&D projects with international and national governments and the private sector. She has directed environmental and rural development programs in the Spanish Ministry for Foreign Affairs and the strategy designs in Spanish-Bolivian cooperation framework program. She has been an international consultant to Corfo-Chilean government in the evaluation of R&D projects. In addition, she has managed agricultural farm productivity, business aspects and subsidies according to European policy instrumental in regional and local economies. His research lines are soil quality assessment, soil reclamation, soil biochemistry and organic matter dynamics. Author of 58 articles, 8 book chapters and 140 presentations in congresses.
