I have been with LSHTM since 2013 working across research, programme management and communications. Prior to this I was with the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine working on maternal and child health, as well as several roles within newspapers and the music industry.
Since 2016 I have co-led the Agriculture, Nutrition & Health (ANH) Academy - a global network of 9000+ researchers, practitioners and policymakers in 140+ countries. ANH Academy is part of the Innovative Methods and Metrics for Agriculture and Nutrition Actions programme which aims to improve nutrition and health by strengthening tools, capacity and evidence in agriculture and food systems research.
Most of my work is around agriculture and food systems in the context of human and planetary health. I'm fortunate to collaborate with a broad range of colleagues on topics including:
** The impacts of plastics used across food systems
** Political economy and power
** Equity and sustainability in research, education and practice
