In 2025, Dr Paolo Gruppuso and Dr Judith Bopp from the Rachel Carson Center for Environment and Society, LMU visited the University of Pécs to present their current project

In this video you can watch Dr Judith Bopp’s talk:
Thai farmers and the environmental humanities: Using social sciences methods for enquiry into human-ecology relationships in small-scale agriculture

Dr. Judith Bopp
Research Fellow, Rachel Carson Center for Environment and Society, LMU

Ongoing research project:
Fostering the health-nutrition-ecology nexus: organic farming practices and household resilience in rural Bangladesh and Thailand


Judith is a cultural geographer with a particular interest in organic farming practices and the interrelations of food, health, and ecology. With her current DFG-funded research “Fostering the health-nutrition-ecology nexus. Organic farming practices and household resilience in rural Bangladesh and Thailand”, she became a research fellow at the Rachel Carson Center (RCC). The project investigates how rural smallholder households improve their resilience to overlapping social-ecological crises through adopting organic farming practices. Judith is also an associate researcher with the Institute for Social-Ecological Research (ISOE).
Before that, Judith worked as a research assistant at Kiel University and University of Vechta, and held a postdoctoral fellowship from the Indo-German Center for Sustainability at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras IITM. She received her PhD from University of Cologne in 2016 through empirical research on pioneers in Bangkok’s organic food movement.
Having a background in linguistics as well, she has a strong interest for environmental and agricultural discourses and for ecolinguistics. One of her overarching ambitions is to shape relatable new narratives to live by.
