Ashley McCarthy is currently a post-doc researcher in the Department of Nutrition and Food Sciences & Food Systems Program. She is exploring the impact of COVID-19 on food access, food security and food systems as part of the National Food Access and COVID research Team (NFACT). Her interdisciplinary research focuses on meeting the food and nutrition needs of the growing population while improving sustainability and resiliency to disruptions in the food system, such as climate change, natural resource scarcity, and extreme weather events. She’s particularly interested in the role that regional food systems could play in food system resilience and sustainability. Ashley uses a variety of methodological approaches in her work, including geospatial analysis, quantitative food systems modeling, and statistical analysis.
