I have a PhD in Sociology, my area of research is health. As an undergraduate, I studied the eating practices of vegan and vegetarian people; I continue researching the experience of illness, therapeutic itineraries, body and health. In this sense, in my area of research, the contribution can go towards understanding eating practices in certain social groups, understanding what it has been like and thus developing action projects to develop new proteins, also so that public policies are more effective.
