Food and water insecurity, agrarian policy, and smallholder resilience
Jorge Cañari-Casaño’s global health focus centers on understanding how food and water insecurity, climate change, and inequitable agrarian and water policies interact to shape nutrition, health, and equity among Andean and migrant populations in Peru. His interests in global health equity align with the Center’s themes of strengthening systems for health, addressing social and environmental determinants of health, and developing technical solutions. Cañari-Casaño’s research uses mixed-methods and longitudinal designs to examine the structural determinants of household food and water insecurity and the risks of zoonotic and vector-borne diseases through One Health approaches. Drawing on his experience as a certified free-range egg producer, he also studies whether certification and market-access mechanisms can support agroecological transitions and strengthen smallholder resilience. His work involves collaboration with Peruvian institutions, including the Instituto de Investigación Nutricional and Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia.
