Ellen Mangnus

Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Wagenigen University

I am employed at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but I will soon return to Wageningen University to research EU sustainability regulations in food value chains and their effects in low and middle-income countries. I started my career working in development and spent nine years as an 'Advisor Sustainable Value Chains' at the Royal Tropical Institutes, focusing on West Africa, Central America, and Ethiopia and Kenya. I earned my PhD at Wageningen University, where I researched market access for smallholders in Mali, I worked as a researcher at Utrecht University, studying the impact of Dutch agribusiness on local food security in Kenya, Ethiopia, and Ghana. Throughout my career, I have valued societal impact, combining academia with journalism, and I greatly appreciate collaboration and exchange in academia.
