Marriage between ecology and economy

She is an ecologist with a broad interest in ecology and evolution, working on multitrophic interaction. Vet has a special interest in communicating the importance of ecology to the general public. Besides conducting high quality ecological scientific research, Louise Vet works on achieving a good marriage between ecology and economy. The latter is crucial to reach a sustainable society where ecology and economy do not clash but join forces. Louise Vet tries to achieve this goal by using the power of positive action.
