Agri-food and Forestry Sectors for Sustainable Development

Since 2017, he joined the Laboratory for agri-food applications of controlled hydrodynamic cavitation (HCT-Agrifood Lab). Here, his main research and experimental interests have focused on the exploitation of biological resources (plants, crops, food waste and byproducts), mainly by means of innovative extraction methods complying with the principle of green extraction of natural products. Moreover, also on behalf of the Central Scientific Committee of the Italian Alpine Club (Csc-Cai), he focused on the analysis and exploitation of agricultural and forest ecosystem services, including forest therapy. He has participated in several research projects, and has co-authored more than 150 scientific articles, book chapters, technical reports and presentations at national and international conferences.
