I am an Assistant Professor of Decision Making in Farm Management at the Department of Agricultural Economics and Rural Development at the Agricultural University of Athens in Greece. From 2019 to 2025, I worked as an Economic Modeller and Deputy Team Leader at the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC), Unit D4 – Economics of the Food System in Seville, Spain. My research focuses on quantitative socio-economic analysis and modelling of food systems and agricultural policy, with applications to the Green Deal, Farm to Fork, CAP and related EU and national policies. I investigate environmental and socioeconomic dimensions such as sustainable farming practices, climate change mitigation and adaptation, food security and resilience, nutrient and fertilizer management, and market and price impacts. I use integrated modelling, scenario analysis and impact assessment to support policy design, evaluation and decision making. I am the lead developer and maintainer of IFM-CAP, an EU-wide farm-level model that simulates farmers’ production and management decisions to evaluate the impacts of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and other agricultural policies. Built on FADN/FSDN microdata, IFM-CAP integrates farm heterogeneity, biophysical constraints and economic behaviour to assess environmental, production and income outcomes under alternative scenarios.
