Christine Campeau

Biography

Christine Campeau is the Global Policy Director for Food and Nutrition Systems at CARE where she leads the execution of CARE's global policy and advocacy on food and water systems at global, regional, and national levels. Her goal is to accelerate the fundamental shifts in mindsets, incentives, policies, practices, and resource allocations to improve global food and nutrition security.

Over the last 20 years, Christine has focused minds across the development sector, while working for intergovernmental agencies, such as the UN Nutrition (formerly UNSCN): for facilitation platforms, such as the SUN Movement Secretariat and as a Deputy Chair of the UN Food Systems Summit track focusing on advancing equitable livelihoods; and with civil society organizations, including CARE and Caritas Internationalis.

Christine holds a Master of International Relations from Webster University, Geneva Switzerland, with combined focuses on international diplomacy and climate-induced migration. Born and raised on a farm in Southern Ontario, Christine has spent countless hours working and volunteering on farms from Malawi to the Philippines. She builds on that experience to unite committed farmers, entrepreneurs, social movements, academics, governments, and decision makers to build resilient food systems that ensure global food and nutrition security and decent work for all. It also means that Christine spends as much time talking to farmers and retailers, cooking in her kitchen, and eating new foods and learning from other cultures as she does influencing policy processes
