Neetu Choudhary, is an Adjunct Faculty at the School of Human Evolution and Social Change, Arizona State University and is an independent consultant based in India. An economist by training Neetu’s work has focused on looking at the dynamics underlying various dimensions of food system and child malnutrition in the global South. Her current work attempts to explore new pathways connecting household water insecurity with child’s dietary diversity and nutrition outcomes. She is particularly keen to examine how household water access, given its gendered mediation, impinges upon child stunting and how this relationship varies with varying socioeconomic and cultural contexts. In addition, Neetu has also been working with the SHESC team at ASU on water insecurity and mental health issues. Neetu serves as lead technical expert with Transformatory Research Collaborative, a newly founded India based thinktank. She also serves as Associate Editor for the Journal- Nutrition and Health, a Sage publication and as Academic Editor for PLoS One journals.
