Introduction
I am working on strategies for boosting the Sustainability transition on agriculture, from the mitigation, adaptation, and transformation perspective.
Currently, my main interest is understanding, monitoring, and promoting fundamental changes in agriculture landscapes.

We seek to integrate features of ALL (Agroecosystem Living Labs) and TP (Transformation Processes) by designing a monitoring and learning tool to Analyse Transformative Processes within Agroecosystem Living Labs (ATP-in-ALL) in Germany. ATP-in- ALL monitors the degree of transformation based on several key components of transformation, clustered in...
The following report prepared by Thünen Institute presents an actor analysis of the Koronivia Joint Work on Agriculture (KJWA) process by evaluating the contributions (role and topics) of different actors across different regions. The report presents the results in various tables summarizing the original database of actors. In the final chapter, th...
Agriculture is one of the main drivers of biodiversity loss. Several studies concluded that minor changes within the current framework conditions would not be enough to solve the problem, a societal transformation is needed (IPBES, 2019). Transformation means fundamental changes in structural, functional, relational, and cognitive aspects of socio-...
Agriculture is one of the main drivers of biodiversity loss. Several studies concluded that minor changes within the current framework conditions would not be enough to solve the problem (IPBES, 2019). A transformation of the system including the socio-economic as well as technological framework is needed to develop more sustainable land-use system...

Agriculture is one of the main drivers of biodiversity loss. Several studies concluded that minor changes within the current framework conditions would not be enough to solve the problem, a societal transformation is needed. A transformative change means “fundamental change, system-wide reorganization across technological, economic, and social fact...
A proposal to compare globally the local sustainability assessment in livestock systems.
En los últimos años, nos propusimos un reto en la Corporación Colombiana de Investigación Agropecuaria: entregar anualmente a la sociedad un Balance Social que evidencie el retorno social generado en cumplimiento de nuestra misión institucional. Así, en el 2017 presentamos la primera versión y ahora lo hacemos por segundo año consecutivo. El Balanc...
Ruminant livestock are important sources of human food and global greenhouse gas emissions.
Feed degradation and methane formation by ruminants rely on metabolic interactions between
rumen microbes and affect ruminant productivity. Rumen and camelid foregut microbial community
composition was determined in 742 samples from 32 animal species and 35...
Rumen fermentation and methanogenesis are vital metabolic processes in cattle and are carried out by microbial populations that are affected by dietary factors such as secondary metabolites, nutritional composition and degradability. The aim of this study was to monitor populations of total bacteria, total methanogens and Butirivibrio fibrisolvens...
La producción mundial de productos pecuarios deberá duplicarse para el año 2050, un aumento que aunque necesario, puede generar efectos ambientales negativos. En el presente estudio se compara la producción de metano en una dieta con la inclusión de Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) de Wit. Cv. Cunningham en una dieta basada en gramíneas (Guinea, Megath...
Introduction Several studies have demonstrated that condensed tannin (CT) rich forages contribute to a decrease in the methanogenesis, nevertheless relatively little is known about their effects on the community of rumen methanogens. This study describes the composition of rumen methanogenic archaea in cows grazing tannin-free and condensed tannin-...
Analysis of diversity of methanogenic microorganisms in cattle grazing Lotus uliginosus

Evaluate different feed systems based on forage and legumes with the potential of reducing methane emission and increase productivity in Dairy production systems.
Validate molecular techniques to monitoring the rumen microbiome
Implement in vitro and in vivo techniques to measure methane production in grazing cattle under tropical conditions.
Adapt the Poly-tunnel technique to measure direct emission of methane in cattle livestock
