Emmi Salmivuori

I’m doing my dissertation research with foundation funding since 12/2021 at the department of History and Geography. I’m working also as a project coordinator in the project ”Sustainability transition from the margins” since 1/2023.

I’m interested in issues related to rural development, rural businesses and use of natural resources.

My dissertation research is focused on adaptation of business activities based on forests to structural and social change pressures on broader level of society. As a part of my dissertation, I’m doing an interview research that examines the factors behind the development and adaptation of forest-based businesses of interviewed forest owners and rural SME companies.
