Professor Tafadzwa Mabhaudhi

Professor of Climate Change, Food Systems and Health

I have experience in research, development, capacity building and building partnerships across academia, public and private sectors, civil society, and communities in the global South. I conduct multi- and transdisciplinary research covering sustainable and resilient food systems, global environmental change and the water-energy-food nexus. My goal is to work on research and development that is dynamic, transformative, informs policy and achieves real-life impacts within poor communities. My experience straddles research and academia, international research for development and capacity development for the global South.
