David Laborde (FAO), Jaron Porciello (CABI) and Carin Smaller (Shamba Centre for Food & Climate), are pleased to welcome Valeria Pineiro (IFPRI) who joins them as a new Co-Chair to Hesat2030.
Valeria currently leads Avanzar2030: Innovation for Sustainable Agrifood Systems, which is an evidence-based research project designed to identify and provide cost analysis for innovative policies, technologies and institutions in agrifood systems in the Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) region. She is the Regional Representative for the Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) region and a Senior Research Coordinator in the Markets, Trade and Institutions Unit at IFPRI, where she analyses policies influencing economic development, trade and sustainability in agriculture.
By joining Hesat2030 as a new Co-Chair, Valeria further reinforces the collaboration between Hesat2030 and Avanzar2030. Both projects share a common objective - to inform policy decisions on ending hunger while also addressing climate change, nutrition, equity, and the economic well-being of the most vulnerable communities. They are further aligned using a similar methodology, which leverages the latest technologies for evidence-syntheses and cost-modelling, based on the foundations established by Ceres2030.
This collaboration with Avanzar2030 enables Hesat2030 to incorporate new regional insights and evidence from the LAC region into its global projections and recommendations. Not only will this insight benefit decision-makers at the global level, such as donor governments and philanthropists, but also help governments in the Global South to further their cooperation.
Hesat2030 Co-Chairs look forward to working with Valeria and further their efforts to end hunger and malnutrition.
