Debbie Humphries, PhD, MPH, MA

Dr. Humphries’ research focuses on nutrition and infectious disease in low- and middle-income countries, as well as on healthy food access globally. She is interested in the ways climate change is affecting food access, and the impact of food systems on environmental change. She has collaborated on several studies in the Bolivian Andes that investigate use of traditional foods and pathways by which climate change is affecting household food production. In the context of climate change, she is particularly interested in studying the relationship between resilient food systems and indicators of environmental impact of those systems, both in the United States and globally.
