She is a specialist in issues that contribute to the sustainability of urban settlements. She focuses on territorial planning with an emphasis on the study of peri- urban interfaces -urban-natural and urban-rural-; within them, to the food systems close to the cities, mainly horticulture and farm, understanding them as strategic green infrastructures for sustainable urban development. She provides a look at the complexity of these systems based mainly on family farming and integrates aspects of adaptation and mitigation of climate change. Another line of research is the coexistence conflicts between extensive production and urban settlements, due to contamination by drift of agrochemicals. She has created and coordinates the O-AUPA Observatory (Urban Agriculture, Periurban Agriculture and Agroecology) based at INTA AER Córdoba, and the Periurban Network that articulates different research teams and other social actors linked to the issues she works on.
