Main activities


My work focuses on health risks, how they are handled at different scales (local, national, international) and according to the logics and strategies specific to the different  stakeholders.

I work mainly on the risks related to animals (avian flu, Ebola, foot-and-mouth disease ...)

The interactions between the actors involved at these different scales are analysed based on (1)  the organisation of the food market chains for the management of sanitary quality standards and (2) the functioning of the animal health surveillance systems: Projetcs Pacman (Metaprogramme Gisa/inra), FSP GRIPAVI, ARDIGRIP (AIRD), ATP "Emergences et risques sanitaires" (Cirad). 

I  also study the evolution of the ways of building trust in food, in the context of urbanization and rapid industrialization of the food chains in developing countries (Projetcs SUSPER, M4P, ACI Distri).
 

Value chain analysis (farming systems, market chains, and food systems): social organisations, collective action, inclusiveness and governance

Impact analysis of animal health standards and sanitary crisis on small-scale farmers and traders

Risk governance analysis (food related risks, zoonosis, emerging infectious diseases): public perception and management of risks (consumers, livestock keepers, traders…), vulnerability and resilience, communication and trust.
