Hello! My name is Francisco Javier Peris Felipo. I was born in 1983 in Valencia, Spain. I’m a biologist with a PhD in Entomology and over a decade of experience across biodiversity, regenerative agriculture, agroecosystems, taxonomy, ecology, and pest control.

I naturally look at the field through an entomologist’s eyes. Where others see a plot of land, I see interactions, balances, signals, and opportunities to help agriculture perform better in harmony with nature. I enjoy turning complex science into simple, useful decisions, the kind you can actually apply tomorrow, especially around soil health, biodiversity, and Integrated Pest Management (IPM).

I also have a professional habit, if something sounds great but can’t be observed or evaluated, “How would we prove it in the field?” I’m driven by decisions that are measurable, actionable, and genuinely useful. In this context, I previously led LivinGro®, a global regenerative agriculture program focused on ensuring agricultural productivity while enhancing soil health and protecting biodiversity.

My scientific work centers on beneficials and natural enemies. I’ve published 126 scientific works and described 119 new species. I’ve also completed 37 research stays at research centers worldwide, and I actively collaborate with museums and universities on projects related to biodiversity, agriculture, taxonomy, ecology, and evolution.

In my free time, I enjoy traveling, playing sports, spending time with friends, and continuing my entomological research. When I truly need a reset, I lace up my shoes and go for a run. So far, I’ve completed 29 marathons.

I’m proud to contribute to a more nature-positive future through innovation, collaboration, and purpose-driven leadership.
