About me

Hi, I'm Simona Vallone, a food system scientist living in California.

From obtaining my doctoral degree studying plant environmental adaptation to working as a research scientist in the food technology startup facilitating nutrition delivery and food waste reduction, alleviating food insecurity through a sustainable use of resources has been my driving passion. 

At this stage in my career, I intend to broaden my understanding of the global food system, study its impact on the environment and society going beyond the spatial boundaries, and help its stakeholders make data-informed and environmentally-driven decisions.
