Oriana is a Aquaculture and Marine Resources MSc graduate, policy advisor and marine data scientist working on a syntropic agroforest project in Aruba, where she helps build food forests with balanced ecosystems that can sustain and replenish themselves. Through collaboration with different partners, she has been able to teach syntropic agroforestry principles to the Aruban community, as well as climate adaptation methods that help strengthen food security and carbon sequestration. She wants to help Aruba become resilient to climate change, as well as to develop their economy in order to help communities that have been negatively impacted by poor development. This includes developing a more equitable distribution of finance and technology, inclusion in decision-making and nature/human positive economic development.
