Bio/Research

Dr. Finnis' current research examines food production, local food systems, and smaller-scale farming in Parry Sound District, Ontario. Some of her other recent research includes working with small-scale farmers on issues of food sovereignty, agriculture, and social/physical environmental change in rural Paraguay.

Finnis' research addresses the politics, economics, and culture of smaller-scale farming and local food systems. Geographically, she is interested in Canada, India, and Paraguay, and uses a political ecology lens to examine food, diet, agricultural transitions, and food sovereignty.

She currently holds a SSHRC Insight Development Grant, Understanding Agricultural Values and Food Sovereignty Possibilities on the Edge of Northern Ontario.
