Dr. Gjorevska's research focuses on the intersection between alternative organising, values, well-being and food organising. Her work explores organizational behavior in alternative food networks and social enterprises, with particular interest in third sector organizations' role in multi-stakeholder well-being outcomes and drivers behind social change.

Her current research investigates civil society involvement in food-related alternative organising as a driver of social change, while also examining post-pandemic and post-capitalist organizing transitions.

Her work spans multiple contexts including Hungary and the UK, with a growing emphasis on food systems as sites of social innovation.
