Piera Waibel

Associated Expert
"My vision is an agriculture and food system, which works in harmony with nature, provides ecosystem services and is inclusive. Leveraging and channeling the power of the various actors able to create the required systems change is what it’s all about.”

Piera has 20 years of experience in sustainability management and research, with a broad track record of working in companies, NGOs, foundations and management consulting. In 2020, she founded her own company, with the purpose of contributing to global ecosystem restoration and poverty alleviation through the regenerative transformation of agricultural systems.

She is passionate about strategic sustainability management, sustainable agricultural supply and food systems, rural and agricultural development, market-based poverty alleviation, permaculture and regenerative agriculture & supply, as well as nature-based garden and landscape design – especially when these areas are linked, and complex issues need to be solved.

Piera has an Economics and Sustainability background with a PhD from the University of Zurich, for which she spent 1.5 years at the Tropical Agricultural Research and Higher Education Centre (CATIE) in Turrialba, Costa Rica.
