Selina Bruns

Welcome
I am a Lecturer (Assistant Prof.) in Sustainable Food at the University of Bristol. I am a member of the Norwich Institute for Sustainable Development and a steering member of AgEconMeet.
​In my research, I focus on the sustainable growth of smallholder farmers around the world - particularly in remote rural regions of the Global South.
​
I study heterogeneities in farmer's production and marketing decisions and subsequent consequences. In particular, I focus on the role of uncertainty and scarcity. Furthermore, I am interested in understanding consumer behavior and preferences, as well as how to steer change in consumption choices.
Methodologically, I use experimental methods to understand preferences and decision-making processes as well as to test policy interventions. I am also curious about the suitability of established experiments for low-numeracy subject-pools.​
