In keeping with our goal of sharing diverse perspectives on food systems worldwide, TABLE is delighted to announce that it is expanding the collaboration.
We are very pleased to welcome two new partner organizations to the TABLE family: Universidad de los Andes (Uniandes), Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM).

We are very pleased to welcome two new partner organizations to the TABLE family: Universidad de los Andes (Uniandes), Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM).
Uniandes and UNAM are the newest members of TABLE, which was initially set up as a collaboration between the University of Oxford, the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences and Wageningen University & Research. With a growing number of team members based in America, we seek to deepen the exploration of how debates and understandings of the food systems are informed by the geographical and regional specificities of culture, landscape and experience.
Camilo Ardila joined the TABLE team in December 2023 and will be working from Uniandes, alongside TABLE’s new Research Director in Colombia, Felipe Roa-Clavijo. TABLE’s work at Uniandes will connect with, respond to, and engage stakeholders in our core areas of work from a Colombian perspective. Together with Mexican colleagues at the Universidad Nacional Autónomo de México, they will start to build a network of food system stakeholders in Colombia, Mexico and the wider region.
The new partnership with Uniandes will be launched with a hybrid event on 21 February in Bogotá, Colombia.
Work at UNAM will be led by our Research Director and TABLE board member in Mexico, Elena Lazos Chavero. Elena and her colleague Laura Elena Martínez Salvador will soon also be joined by an additional team member. Elena recently spent time on sabbatical at the University of Oxford, and while she was there we were lucky enough to interview her about her research and experience.
We are also increasingly working with the fabulous Cornell Food Systems & Global Change at Cornell CALS, who are currently supporting the TABLE programme through two Graduate Communications Assistants. We look forward to more opportunities to collaborate with the team at Cornell, and one of our first ventures together will be a virtual event on challenges around livestock in sub-Saharan Africa on 28 March.
