Ms. Malin Olofsson is a Transatlantic Media Fellow (at the Center for Strategic & International Studies in D.C.) and a reporter for Sveriges Radio, Sweden’s national radio network. Malin's interests lie within the environment, climate change, and sustainability, and she plans to use her experience as an investigative reporter to talk about food production from a human rights and environmental perspective. She has won numerous national awards, most recently “The Great Journalism Prize of Sweden – 2011," and was listed in 2011 as one of the 100 most important people in Sweden in the discussion of environmental issues and the food debate. While in the United States, Malin plans to research how moves toward a more sustainable society will affect American transportation, with a particular focus on the oil debate.
