Dr. Massimiliano Borrello
Massimiliano Borrello (PhD) is researcher at the University of Naples Federico II (Italy), Department of Agricultural Sciences. He has a MSc degree in Agricultural Economics and Policy (Centre of Advanced Training, Italy) and a PhD in Improvement and Management of Agricultural Resources and Forests (University of Naples Federico II, Italy). He is professor of Circular Economy in the MSc in Agricultural Economics and Policy (Centre of Advanced Training, Italy) and has been invited lecturer of Regenerative Industrial Design (doctoral programs of the Corvinus University, Hungary). He is member of the SESS (Social-Ecological Systems Simulation Centre).
His current research interests focus on sustainability transitions in the agri-food sector and circular bio-economy innovations. His research interests are also related to consumer attitudes and behaviors towards sustainable supply chains and business models. He has collaborated in several research projects and has been PI of a project concerning consumers’ acceptance of fungus resistant grapes funded by the International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV). Dr. Borrello is member of prestigious national and international scientific associations.
