His interest is to identify and understand the power dynamics and communication between institutions and individuals involved in climate and food security issues. Together with SUSTENTO, which is funding his fieldwork, the aim is to explore alternative food systems in Guatemala. The objective of this research is to generate knowledge to understand how communities resist the conventional food system and thus explore the complexities of the food regime in general.
