Professor Tafadzwa Mabhaudhi

Professor of Climate Change - Food Systems and Health

United Kingdom

I am a boundary spanner, and science advocate, working on complex water, energy, food and environmental systems at the interface of science, policy, and society. I am an expert in developing models and frameworks and applying systems approaches to solving complex water, energy, food, environment, health and climate change challenges to provide actionable evidence for informed decision-making and identifying practical solutions for policy and practice. I have a commendable track record of scientific leadership, capacity building, and partnership development crucial for realising the benefits of research, development, and innovation. I aim to spearhead research and development initiatives that influence policy, promote equality, and drive transformation in Africa and globally.
