Alejandro Barrios Latorre
Presentation
I’m an agroecologist (MSc Agricultural Science), specialist in soil surveys and professional in environmental biology, coursing my doctoral education within the Technology group of BT. I’m experienced in the assessment of agricultural systems and the analysis of environmental information, especially in the fields of soils, limnology and climate. My area of interest includes the use of different tools for the assessment of environmental and socio-economic impacts and identifying feasible solutions.
Research
My doctoral education is focused on the assessment of removal of agricultural residues as feedstock for different purposes within the emerging bioeconomy, such as biofuels and protein extraction. It also includes the evaluation of the use of intermediate crops as an alternative solution to mitigate the impacts derived from the removal of this biomass from the agricultural landscape.
