Interaction Coordinator And Postdoctoral ResearcherUniversity Of Helsinki Sep 2019 - PresentHelsinki Area, FinlandI have a dual role in multidisciplinary research project Leg4Life, which aims to promote the health and welfare of environment and humanity by increasing the production and feed and food use of home-grown legumes (pea, faba bean, lupines, clovers). As interaction coordinator in the project, I work with stakeholders and other researchers in the project ensuring that the research project provides answers to the knowledge needs different stakeholders have (policymakers, food and feed companies, NGOs etc.). As postdoctoral researcher in the project, I study the use of grain and forage legumes in dairy cow diets aiming to minimize the environmental footprint of production and enhancing high product quality (e.g B12 vitamin in milk).

Doctoral Candidate In Animal NutritionUniversity Of Helsinki Jun 2014 - Dec 2018Helsinki, FinlandI started my PhD project in June 2014 and I will defend my doctoral thesis in May 2019. In my PhD thesis, I'm studying the use of microalgae as a protein feed for dairy cows. The high protein content, rapid growth and high productivity of microalgae make them a very attractive alternative to conventional protein feeds. As they can be grown in land areas unsuitable for other agricultural production, microalgae do not compete with other food production for land area. These characteristics are valuable, as a future aim is to double food production for feeding the increasing human population while halving the ecological footprint.The aim of my PhD project is to compare the effects of different microalgae species (Spirulina platensis, Chlorella vulgaris and Nannochloropsis gaditana) and conventional protein feeds (rapeseed meal, soya bean meal and/or faba bean) on the feed intake, nutrient utilization and milk production of lactating dairy cows. In particular, the effects of different protein feeds on the nitrogen and phosphorus utilization of the animals are examined.The data of my PhD project consist of four physiological trials each conducted with 4 to 8 dairy cows. Four peer-reviewed articles will be published of the trials. First of them is recently published in Animal Feed Science and Technology. The supervisors of my PhD are docent Seija Jaakkola and professor Aila Vanhatalo (Department of Agricultural Sciences, University of Helsinki).

Freelance WriterMtt Agrifood Research Finland Sep 2013 - Nov 2013Helsinki, FinlandILMASE-"Climate Change and Countryside" was a communication project aiming to increase the knowledge of farmers about climate change and how it affects agricultural systems and environment. Project created tools for farmers how to participate the mitigation of climate change and adapt to the changing environment. ILMASE-project brought scientist, other experts and farmers together to discuss about these topics in various workshops and seminars. Also several information cards and articles were written by specialists of different agricultural topics.As a Freelance Writer I wrote the information card "Kohti kestävämpää kotieläintuotantoa" [Towards More Sustainable Livestock Production] for ILMASE-project. The information card describes 9 steps that will decrease environmental losses of livestock production and improve the resource efficiency of farms. -
DesignerBaltic Sea Action Group Jun 2013 - Aug 2013Helsinki, FinlandJärki (Sensible agriculture) -project is a cooperation project between Baltic Sea Action Group and The Nature and Game Management Trust Finland. The Finnish name of the project stands for Sensible enhancement of water protection and biodiversity in agriculture. The project focuses on agri-environmental issues, i.e. water protection, biodiversity and connected recreational use in Finland. Järki-project aims to solve problems that are acting as barriers for these measures to be put into practice in the farm level. This varies from solving practical issues to proposed changes to the agri-enviromental scheme.As a designer I was involved in creating web-based map data bank of the environmental actions conducted on the collaborative farm of Järki-project. The map data bank is a practical tool that clarifies the meaning and implementation of different environmental friendly farming practices and it is aimed for farmers and other individuals interested in agri-environmental issues.The web-page of the project: http://www.jarki.fi/ -
