Sarah Rodman began working at the Center for a Livable Future as a Johns Hopkins 2010 MPH candidate in the department of Environmental Health. As an MPH student, she wrote her capstone on the intersection between anti-hunger programs and farm subsidies in the Farm Bill. She has since graduated from the Masters program and is staying on with the CLF to do research in both the Eating for the Future and Farming for the Future programs. She is involved in projects ranging in subject from state and federal environment and agriculture policy to improving Baltimore City’s food access.

Prior to Hopkins and the CLF, Sarah worked at the Earth Institute at Columbia University on the health portion of the Millennium Villages Project and the National Rural Health Mission of India, among other projects. She holds a BA in Anthropology from the University of Chicago, where she focused on different cultures’ medicine systems and attitudes toward diseased people. Sarah’s main area of interest is reforming the corporate-political landscape around federal agriculture and food assistance policies to make healthy, sustainably produced food accessible to all, regardless of location or income level.
