SNSF Starting Grant for Prof. Janina Grabs
With great pleasure we announce that Prof. Dr. Janina Grabs received a SNSF Starting Grant for the project „EXPECT-AGRI: The Political Economy of Expectations in Agri-Food Sustainability Transformations“.
In her project, Prof. Dr. Janina Grabs examines the impact of sustainability laws in the supply chains of coffee, cocoa and palm oil. What expectations do these laws create between the regulatory authorities and the companies that trade in these commodities? And how do these expectations in turn influence the shift towards more sustainable agriculture? Janina Grabs and her team at the Department of Social Sciences will be investigating these questions from January 2025. The results should support political decision-makers in pursuing more effective sustainability policies.
Congratulations, Janina!
