Comment on Dr. Joana Nazaré Morgado and Dr. Lerato Phali
Dr. Joana Nazaré Morgado and Dr. Lerato Phali exemplify the depth and diversity of interdisciplinary expertise essential for addressing today's global sustainability and agricultural challenges.
Dr. Morgado brings a pioneering perspective as the first PhD in Sustainability Sciences from the University of Lisbon. Her strong foundation in veterinary medicine and her engagement with international organizations like FAO and EFSA demonstrate a solid grounding in the One Health approach. Her work, which spans animal health, food safety, health impact assessment, and sustainable diets, positions her as a critical voice in promoting integrative and preventive public health strategies in the context of global change.
Dr. Phali, on the other hand, contributes a robust economic lens to the sustainability discourse, with a focus on climate resilience, agricultural productivity, and water governance. Her academic leadership across South African institutions and her fellowships reflect a commitment to applied research with developmental impact. Her focus on policy-relevant issues such as food waste, water security, and climate adaptation makes her research both timely and influential.
Together, their complementary expertise in sustainability science and agricultural economics embodies the multidisciplinary collaboration needed to achieve meaningful, systems-level change in food systems, environmental resilience, and public health.
Thank you once again, and I am happy to join your system. I want to strongly collaborate with you in the coming season, so if any information regarding this please let me know and discuss together?
