Laura TressoBIOLaura is currently working in the Directorate of Statistics at the European Central Bank. While being in Frankfurt she loves going for long runs, singing in a choir, and cooking her favorite pastas to remember her Italian origins.EXPERIENCEAfter completing her master’s degrees in mathematics and economics she went to Ecuador as a civil service volunteer to work in a local NGO in direct contact with rural people from the region. Thanks to this experience she started to be interested in food systems and agricultural production and she felt the need to tell her friends in Europe what she saw. She begun with writing an article on an Italian magazine, Altreconomia.
