*ABOUT OUR SPEAKERS*

*Matthew Hayek* is an Assistant Professor in the Department of
Environmental Studies. He received his PhD in Environmental Science and
Engineering at Harvard, where he later went on to do his postdoc in climate
policy and law.

Hayek's research quantifies the environmental impacts of our food system,
with a specific focus on its contributions to climate change. He has
previously published in the areas of atmospheric physics, forest
terrestrial ecology, and agricultural management. His most recent paper
concerns the relative impacts of grass-fed vs. conventional beef production
on methane emissions and land use in the US. In his ongoing research, he
currently models the consequences of large-scale dietary changes, comparing
the results of shifting to food consumption habits to other carbon
mitigation strategies such as bioenergy and carbon capture.

*Andy Rose* is a sustainability enthusiast focused on circular economy
initiatives. Andy is an engineer by education and has worked in software
development, food supply chains and currently works at TerraCycle on the
Loop Initiative as the US Supply Chain Planner. He is passionate about
building ecological awareness and participating in communities that foster
meaningful connections.

*Sabine Valenga *is a designer and food-tech entrepreneur. After finishing
her degree in Architectural Design from Columbia University, where she
focused her studies on how technology and design can generate a positive
impact on our cities, she co-founded Food for All with the mission of
stopping good food from being wasted. As their CMO, she leads their
branding and marketing efforts and is determined to make “becoming zero
food waste" something easy and desirable for both businesses and consumers.
