Engaged in research projects around themes of food, agriculture, and the environment, Dr. Jennifer Clapp, Canada Research Chair and University Professor in SERS, was inducted into the Royal Swedish Academy of Agriculture and Forestry as a new international fellow on January 28, 2023. As an international fellow, Clapp will have the opportunity to participate in events of the Academy and engage in collaborative research projects with other fellows that advance the goal of more equitable and sustainable food systems that promote food security for all.
While in Sweden for the ceremony, Clapp was featured in a seminar on the Challenge of Making Science and Knowledge-based Recommendations for a Global Food System, drawing on her expertise on global food security politics and governance and insights from her current role as Vice Chair of the High Level Panel of Experts on Food Security and Nutrition.
The Royal Swedish Academy of Agriculture and Forestry was founded in 1811 and is a free and independent organization that works with issues of agriculture, horticulture, food, forest and forest products, fishing and aquaculture, the environment and natural resources.
