- Sustainable Food Systems Specialization Lead
Maya Moore is the SFS Specialization Lead in the Master of the Environment program, where she teaches the Intro to Food Systems course. Prior to joining CU, she was a postdoctoral fellow at Columbia University's Climate School and the International Research Institute for Climate and Society, where her work explored the gendered dimensions of climate information access and use among smallholder farmers in Guatemala and sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), seed systems in SSA and India, and rice agricultural trainings in Mali.
Originally from northern Maine, Maya has spent the last 20+ years working on climate, agriculture, biodiversity conservation, and community development initiatives across SSA, Southeast Asia, and Central America, including living for more than a decade in Madagascar.
Outside of professional life, Maya can be found seeking out great street food wherever she travels, hanging out with her two dogs (from Madagascar), or exploring local parks and playgrounds with her son.
