Harold Opdenbosch

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher in agricultural and food economics at the Department of Economics, SLU, where I also completed my PhD. I hold a master’s degree in environmental economics from SLU and a bachelor’s degree in economics from Solvay Brussels School of Economics and Management.

My research focuses on understanding farmers’ adoption of environmentally sustainable production practices, with particular attention to the role of public and private incentives. While my PhD centred on the influence of agricultural policy, my current work explores how sustainable farming can improve farm-level economic performance and how actors across the food supply chain can develop private incentives to encourage adoption.
