Stephanie is a financial geographer researching the connections, tensions, and trade-offs between what we need from our food systems and what we expect from our financial systems. She is a doctoral candidate with the Oxford Sustainable Finance Group where she is currently researching stranded assets in the transition to sustainable and healthy diets, with a specific focus on the cattle and beef sectors in the USA.
Before joining Oxford, Stephanie was a research associate at the Centre for Food Policy at City, University of London. She also contributed to England’s National Food Strategy and the EU Food Policy Coalition’s work on the EU Legislative framework for sustainable food systems. Before entering academia, Stephanie worked in advertising in London and New York with major food and FMCG firms. After playing her own small part in shaping diets for economic ends, she decided to make the shift and pursued her MSc from King’s College London. Stephanie is also a researcher with the Better Planet Labs at the University of Colorado – Boulder. More of her work can be found at The Food Ledger.
