Personel

Lini is the Flagship Leader for Low Emissions Development for CCAFS and Research Professor at the Gund Institute for Environment and Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources, University of Vermont. She was previously the Director of the Center for Sustainable Agriculture at the University of Vermont (2007–2009); Principle Scientist at the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) (1994–2005); and Program Officer for Asia’s Rural Poverty and Resources Program at the Ford Foundation (1991–1994). Lini is a member of the Forest, Trees and Livelihoods and Frontiers’ Climate-Smart Food Systems editorial boards.

Lini’s areas of expertise include climate change mitigation, local governance, environment and rural livelihoods, community-based forest management, participatory action research and adaptive collaborative management. She conducted field research primarily in Asia, especially Indonesian Borneo.

Lini has produced over 81 peer-reviewed publications. She received her B.S. (1980), MSc (1986) and PhD (1991) degrees from the University of California, Berkeley, USA.
