Stuart Gillespie

Dr. Stuart Gillespie has been fighting to transform our broken food system for the past 40 years. Stuart has been at the helm of the IFPRI’s Regional Network on AIDs, Livelihoods and Food Security, has led the flagship Agriculture for Nutrition and Health research program, was director of the Transform Nutrition West Africa program, and founded the Stories of Change initiative, amongst a host of other interventions into public food policy. His work – the ‘food fight’ he has been waging – has driven change across all frontiers, from the grassroots (mothers in markets, village revolutionaries) to the political (corporate behemoths, governance).
