Sarah Osterhoudt is an anthropologist who studies how rural communities, especially agricultural and forest-farming (agroforestry) communities in Madagascar, relate to their land, crops, and memory. Her work explores global commodity chains—such as the trade in vanilla—and examines conservation policy, environmental aid, and questions of power, access, and sustainability from the perspective of smallholder farmers.
