About
Nazia Mintz-Habib is a Giorgio Ruffolo Post-doctoral Fellow in the Sustainability Science Program at Harvard's Center for International Development. She is also a fellow of the Sir Isaac Newton Trust and a fellow of the Malaysian Commonwealth Studies from the University of Cambridge, UK. Nazia is interested in policies, institutions and market-based approaches for sustainable development. She received her PhD from the University of Cambridge, UK in 2011 with a multidisciplinary, fieldwork-based dissertation on biofuels and food security. Her research introduced an analytical framework to study the extent to which export-oriented agricultural commodity production brings opportunities and challenges to poor producers in developing countries. Her work applies this framework to fieldwork research to examine the relationship between agricultural biotechnology and poverty reduction. Her interest in poverty and food security began with her undergraduate honors thesis at the State University of New York at Plattsburgh in 2003, where she graduated as class valedictorian. She has published papers for the United Nations and academic journals on food security, renewable energy, poverty, climate change and governance systems.
