Biography
Dr Liliane Binego is a Research Fellow at the Centre for Agroecology, Water and Resilience (CAWR), Coventry University. Her academic background is in natural resources management and disaster risk reduction, with a particular focus on food security and the transformation of food systems in climate‑vulnerable and socio‑politically fragile contexts. She examines how ecological and socioeconomic systems interact to shape the resilience of communities facing natural hazards, climate variability, and human‑driven pressures.
Liliane Binego research integrates agroecology, nature-based approaches to climate adaptation and sustainable land‑use practices to support resilient food production and water systems and enhance human security. She is particularly interested in the dynamics of sustainability, stability, vulnerability, and resilience within food and water systems, and in the co-creation of knowledge, that supports sustainable development pathways.
Alongside her research, Liliane Binego contributes to teaching and supervision across undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, and she supervises doctoral researchers working on themes related to agroecology, natural and human- induced hazards, resilience, and food system sustainability.
Vision Statement
Liliane Binego is motivated by her quest for catalytic and enabling arguments that stimulate innovation, appropriate policies, reforms and strategies of resilient global and local food and water systems, food security, and nature-driven climate adaptation.
