Nayla Bezares, Master of Science in Agriculture, Food & Environment
Nayla studies Agriculture, Food and the Environment at Tufts Friedman School of Nutrition with a focus on sustainable food systems. Her motivation grows from exposure to food manufacturing, the supply chain and her experiences growing up in Puerto Rico where a dependence on food imports and an agricultural market hungry for development underlines the declining health of its citizens. Nayla is interested in opportunities of inclusive and participatory research that advance food systems work with the contributions of communities and their key stakeholders.
