I am an agricultural and applied economist. My research relates to environmental, consumer, and production economics in both developing and developed market contexts, with a focus on food security, agricultural productivity, and climate change. I have research, innovation, and development experience in Asia, Europe, and Africa. Currently, I am the coordinator of the FoodsecURe project and am also involved in several projects that deal with economic, environmental, and social sustainability in climate change.
Apart from my research work, I have taught undergraduate courses in introductory microeconomics, statistical methods, financial decision-making, and world food economy. I earned a Ph.D. from the University of Illinois, an M.S. from Texas Tech University, and a B.S. from the University of the Philippines.

Divina Gracia P. RodriguezSammendrag
Presentasjonen viser hvordan urinresirkulering kan bidra til å løse både miljø- og matvaresikkerhetsutfordringer. Den tar utgangspunkt i nitrogen- og fosforforurensning i Oslofjorden og viser hvordan næringsstoffer fra urin kan gjenvinnes som trygg gjødsel. Eksempler fra Etiopia og Europa illustrerer teknologiske løsninger, økonomiske og kulturelle barrierer, samt behovet for politikk, sertifisering og partnerskap for å muliggjøre en sirkulær næringsstofføkonomi.

The lecture addressed urine recycling as a sustainable solution for nutrient recovery and food security. It covered drivers such as nutrient pollution in the Oslofjord and the EU wastewater directive, explained technologies for producing safe urine-based fertilizers, and discussed barriers related to policy, certification, economics, and social acceptance. Real-world cases and business models illustrated how urine recycling can contribute to a circular bioeconomy.

ENFASYS - ENcouraging Farmers towards sustainable farming SYstems through policy and business Strategies
Today’s farmers find it difficult to deal with the several lock-ins within food systems that keep them from transitioning to sustainable farming systems. Policies, together with business models and social innovations, need to be strengthened to overcome lock-in challenges
FoodsecURe: Food security through better sanitation: the case of urine recycling
Human urine contains essential nutrients (e.g., nitrogen and phosphorus) required for plant growth. Hence, urine can serve as a “free” and locally available nutrient source. Successful, low-cost urine-diverting toilets (UDTs) that separately collect urine have been developed in Scandinavia and in Europe and are being manufactured at large scale in Africa. But why can't we recycle urine at scale?

ENGAGE: Europe Nutrient Management - Guided Approaches for Greater Export reduction
ENGAGE aims to operationalise a novel vision for the future of multi-scale nutrientexport reduction and associated ecosystem services in national andtransboundary/international river basins in Europe by bringing together robuststakeholder engagement strategies with coupled state-of-the-art computationalhydrology techniques and online interactive use-tailored DS tool approaches that integrate remote sensing, socio-economic, governance, and society-change decisionelements.

FoodsecURe: Food security through better sanitation: the case of urine recycling
Human urine contains essential plant nutrients. Hence, urine can serve as a “free” and locally available fertiliser. Successful, low-cost urine-diverting toilets (UDTs) that separately collect urine have been developed in Scandinavia and Europe and manufactured at large scale in Africa. A solution for stabilising urine into a solid fertiliser has also been developed. But why can't we recycle urine at scale? In Sweden UDTs are used in some cottages, and the Swedish University of Agricultural Science (SLU) has developed a method to stabilise and dry urine into a fertiliser product, urine-based fertiliser (UBF). FoodSecure aims to implement this technology at a medium scale in Ethiopia.

PATH4MED: Demonstrating innovative pathways addressing water and soil pollution in the Mediterranean Agro-Hydro-System.
Path4Med is a multi-participatory and multidisciplinary project that will pave clear pathways towards zero water and soil pollution in the agro-hydro-system of the Mediterranean sea basin and other European seas through an innovative triple bottom line approach achieving economic, social, and environmental sustainability to ensure human well-being and ecosystems functioning.

Agricultural mitigation measures and the value of water quality improvements
Agriculture is one of the main sources of water pollution in Norway, and an important contributor to GHG emissions.

Tiltak i landbruket og verdien av forbedret vannkvalitet
Landbruket er en av de viktigste kildene til vannforurensing i Norge, og samtidig en stor bidragsyter til klimautslipp.
