Dr. Denver's research centers on behavioral economics in food systems, examining farmer adoption of climate-smart practices, organic market dynamics, and consumer responses to sustainability initiatives. Her work combines empirical analysis of Danish and European food supply chains with ethical considerations in welfare-friendly production and plant-based transitions, emphasizing real-world policy applications.

Analysis of her 2023-2025 publications reveals a dominant focus on climate-smart agriculture adoption barriers, organic market growth constraints, and greenhouse gas mitigation through dietary choices. Her methodology consistently employs multi-stakeholder frameworks across European contexts, with Denmark serving as a primary case study for testing sustainability interventions in food consumption.
