About Sigrid Wertheim-Heck
Dr Sigrid Wertheim-Heck is associate professor of global food system sustainability in the Environmental Policy Group at Wageningen University and Research (WUR), in the Netherlands. With an interest in processes of societal transformation her research departs from situated perspectives on socio-technical transformations in which evolving practices and arrangements locally are tightly interlinked with the national and global scale. Projects across Asia, Africa and Europe bring together three areas of research, namely sustainable food consumption, governance practices and global-local dynamics. Before joining WUR, Sigrid had 20+ years of international agro-food experience in the private sector ranging from business development to market/consumer research, and marketing/distribution strategy. She has been strategic policy advisor for different governments on issues related to food security in the emerging markets of South East Asia.
