Nancy Brett is a postdoctoral interdisciplinary researcher at Linköping University, exploring complexity in societal transitions by integrating economic theories and social perspectives to understand multifaceted challenges in sustainable development and decision-making. Her current projects focus on urban and peri-urban food systems which intersect with key areas such as waste management, food security, urban planning, and broader sustainability objectives. As urban expansion encroaches on fertile agricultural lands, peri-urban spaces and local food systems become critical for urban planners. Nancy's research highlights the need for economic valuation of ecosystem services, particularly in the context of nutrient recycling practices in urban areas. Her work aims to develop strategies that promote sustainable nutrient management by creating a valuation framework that considers environmental, economic, and social factors. Previous publications include insights into biogas markets from a regional perspective, exploring the challenges and opportunities that foster sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels while emphasizing the importance of local resource utilization and community engagement in these markets.
