My work as a Research Scientist at COS built on the success of the Blue Food Assessment by further advancing blue food research in regional and thematic contexts and developing an international policy engagement strategy for blue foods. Amongst others, I led a project on blue foods in national climate strategies, designed a highly effective campaign for COP28, wrote a chapter on blue food climate risk for the updated Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment of Pacific Fisheries and Aquaculture… Show more My work as a Research Scientist at COS built on the success of the Blue Food Assessment by further advancing blue food research in regional and thematic contexts and developing an international policy engagement strategy for blue foods.

As an Early Career Fellow at Stanford COS I played a lead role in research, communications, and policy engagement for the Blue Food Assessment (BFA; http://bluefood.earth), an integrative assessment of the role of blue in transformations towards healthy, sustainable, just, and resilient food systems. In particular, I led the BFA paper on blue food climate risk, developed the BFA key messages and policy briefs, and represented Stanford COS in the Secretariat of the Aquatic Blue Food Coalition.
