Dr. Anne Elise Stratton is an agroecologist and postdoctoral researcher in the Sustainable Use of Natural Resources Department at Universität Hohenheim. Her participatory research aims to inform transitions to sustainable agriculture and food systems through policy and practice at local, regional, and global scales. As an interdisciplinary scholar, she integrates methods from the environmental and social sciences, including use of interviews and focus groups, field experiments, multivariate statistics, and geospatial and survey data analysis. Most recently, Anne Elise conducted postdoctoral research at the Institute for Environmental Studies at VU Amsterdam, where she mapped the potential impacts of increased production and consumption of legume crops on dietary outcomes across Europe. She strongly values collaborative work with communities and has partnered with nonprofits and universities in the US, Brazil, Guatemala, and now in Mexico and India through the Bright Spots of Sustainable Agriculture project.
