Dear all,
I'm Davide Rizzo (a.k.a. pievarino) PhD in Agricultural Sciences at the Scuola Superiore Sant'anna of Pisa. I started my research activities in Pisa (at the Land Lab ). The main topic I work on are the relationships between agriculture and landscape, focussing on the management of Mediterranean terraced landscapes.

Landscape is for me a "place" where different disciplines and actors may share ideas and find solutions to manage relevant resources like soil, water and biodiversity.
Landscape Agronomy is an "opinion movement" arising within Agronomy to push for the active role of agronomist in the crowded domain of landscape research. Here you find some reference.

I lived in Pieve a Nievole (that's the way I present myself as "pievarino") located half way between Pisa and Florence. I currently live in France, in Mirecourt, for a 6 month post-doc at the INRA UR 055 SAD ASTER. You may find a short report on the equip at this link (pp 13-14).
