Shruti Patel is a Senior Lecturer at NADEL, ETH Zurich's Centre for Global Cooperation and Sustainable Development. She focuses on food and nutrition security as well as on building partnerships for development and behavioural change. Born and raised in Kenya, her interest in agriculture was sparked as a child by the question of why people suffer from hunger in a country rich in arable land. She studied agricultural economics at Nottingham University before returning to Kenya with many new questions. She is a board member of Biovision – Foundation for Ecological Development – committed to strengthening its influence within communities and organizations working for sustainable food systems.
