PhD Candidate, The University of Western Australia
Vania is originally from Italy, where she completed her Master's in Environmental Economics and Policy at the University of Turin. She became fascinated with the ocean since moving to Australia in 2013. Vania’s interests lie in the interrelations between the ocean and human health, in particular the global issues of food and nutrient security. She is exploring the challenges that compromise the role of wild capture fisheries in providing a secure source of food and nutrients, such as fisheries subsidies, overfishing and international trade. Vania wants to impact policy by providing information on how to make the ocean a more equitable place for all.
