ABOUT THE WRITER
Bronwen joined CIFOR as a post-doctoral scientist in 2012. Her research focuses on the diverse ways biodiversity, forests and forest governance contribute to both local and global food security and nutrition. In the East Usambara Mountains, Tanzania (the site of her PhD research), Bronwen examines how biodiversity from different land use types contributes to human diet and nutrition. In Morocco, she has explored how wild food plants and agricultural diversity contribute to dietary diversity and how markets pool local agricultural diversity so that it can contribute to dietary diversity.
