Julia Wolfson Research Hub Co-Lead, Food Systems

Julia Wolfson’s research lies at the intersection of health policy and health behavior and centers on health behaviors, environmental factors, policies, programs, and interventions related to diet quality, food security, reducing food systems related climate change, and diet related disease prevention. The overarching goal of her work is to conduct interdisciplinary and innovative research that will contribute to social and policy change, support the creation of health promoting, equitable, and sustainable food systems, help develop and implement effective policies and interventions, and ultimately, improve the public’s health.

She earned her M.P.P. degree from the University of Southern California Sol Price School of Public Policy, and holds a B.A. from New York University’s Gallatin School. Dr. Wolfson also enjoyed a prior career as a professional chef.
