Graduate Student Explores Policy Solutions for Nutrition, Climate, and Development

Graduate student Lyonel Tanganco is conducting research aimed at enhancing public‑policy interventions that tackle interrelated challenges in nutrition, climate change and broader development goals. His work, situated within an interdisciplinary graduate program, seeks to identify evidence‑based strategies that can be integrated into governmental and non‑governmental initiatives to improve outcomes across these sectors.

Tanganco’s investigation combines quantitative analysis of policy effectiveness with case‑study evaluations of existing programs, focusing on how coordinated approaches can address the complex linkages between food security, environmental sustainability and socioeconomic development. Findings from his study are expected to inform policymakers and development practitioners about scalable solutions that align nutritional health objectives with climate resilience and sustainable development targets.
