Sylvia Kay joined TNI in 2011 as a researcher and project coordinator working on issues related to agrarian and environmental justice, food systems, land and natural resource politics.
She has written various reports, issue briefs, policy papers, and primers for TNI including on water grabbing, the role of public policy in rural development, the impact of austerity on food security, and different models of agricultural investment. In recent years, her work has focused on the intersection between drug policy and agrarian change, in particular with respect to cannabis and the environmental dimensions of plant-based drugs.
