Rachel S Friedman

Currently, I am a Banting postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Victoria, studying supply chain sustainability and corporate accountability in food imports. Previously, I worked at the ANU Institute for Climate, Energy, and Disaster Solutions, focused on adaptation strategies into smallholder agriculture and better understanding food systems resilience in the Indo-Pacific. I completed my PhD at the University of Queensland, working on community forest management, and the implications for social equity. On the side, I dabble in science communication - primarily blogging and podcasting.
