Natacha Bruna is a post-doctoral associate at the Department of Global Development, Cornell University. She holds a Ph.D. in Development Studies - International Institute of Social Studies in the Erasmus University Rotterdam, The Netherlands. She worked as a researcher and still a member of a Mozambican independent research institution – Observatório do Meio Rural. Her book "The rise of Green extractivism" (Routledge, 2023) explores the agrarian change brought about by the intersection of extractivism, land and resource grabbing, and environmental policies and the implications on accumulation, rural livelihoods and social reproduction. Currently, her research aims at further exploring resource rush in the context of market-based climate solutions, imposition of greener land uses and carbon markets.
