I am incredibly honoured to have been awarded the SFIAR group prize this week. While I was unable to join in person it was great to present my PhD project's findings to so many great scholars and industry representatives working on tropical agriculture in Switzerland!!

I did it! Thank you, Doktormutter Rachael Garrett, and co-advisors Jan Dirk Wegner and Johanna Jacobi for the amazing advice and letting me push my boundaries. What a journey!

New work led by @EPL_at_ETH alum Janina Grabs with Rachael Garrett

Do efforts to reduce deforestation in Brazil lead to 'leakage' that offsets the benefits? Nelson Villoria (K-State), Rachael Garrett (ETH Zurich & Cambridge), Dr. Kimberly Carlson (New York University), and florian gollnow (ETH Zurich), address in Nature Portfolio. ow.ly/7Sbm50L6lXK

Our new paper is out in @Bioscience today! We explain how an increased focus on social processes in ecosystem restoration can improve equity and effectiveness of restoration interventions ⚖️🌳 Why is this, and how can this be achieved? A thread:

“This paper shows that implementing zero-deforestation commitments is not homogenous across space,” says Dr. Kimberly Carlson ..“They can make a difference but will make more of a difference in places where there is higher uptake across the whole sector.”

New study in nature (nature.com/articles/s4158…) by a member of @EPL_at_ETH, Matthieu Stigler. Shows how AI/ML can be used in new ways to answer key economic & policy questions in the Global South such as measuring the livelihood impact of expanding electricity access in Uganda!

Matthieu Stigler, Postdoctoral researcher at @EPL_at_ETH, co-authored the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research paper 'Using satellite imagery and machine learning to estimate the livelihood impact of electricity access'.
