Hector Maletta
I am a senior international consultant, working especially with FAO and ILO, and occasionally with other international organizations, mostly on food security, agricultural information systems, rural vulnerability, and livelihood recovery after crises and disasters. In recent years I have been engaged in research on the theory and history of scientific research, on which I have published one book in 2016 and another in 2023 (see below). I have also been doing research on the probable impact of climate change on agriculture and food. I have worked in 2017-2020 as a senior consultant for PIADER, a program funded by the Inter-American Development Bank to improve Peru's agricultural statistical information system. In 2014-2016 I worked with FAO in two projects in Peru: one addressing small family farming in Peru (sponsored by FAO in association with Universidad del Pacifico) and another on the development of agro-climatological information in Peru.In 2014-2015 I have been an associate researcher at the CIUP Research Center at Universidad del Pacifico, Lima, Peru. I have been, during several previous years (2004-2013), a technical advisor and member of the academic council overseeing the Social Observatory, Catholic University, Buenos Aires, Argentina. The Social Observatory is a major source of nationwide information on the social situation in Argentina (www.uca.edu.ar/observatorio). In the same period I have been a Professor at the Graduate School of Social Sciences, University of Buenos Aires, working with doctoral students in a seminar on scientific methodology. I have been also teaching graduate courses in Statistics and organizing research activities in Statistics Graduate School, Universidad Tres de Febrero (UNTREF), also in Buenos Aires. Previously (1995-2005) I was a Professor of Social Science at Universidad del Salvador, Buenos Aires, Argentina, and still earlier a Professor at the Department of Economics, Universidad del Pacifico (Lima, Peru). I have several publications (books and scholarly articles) on matters concerning agriculture, food security, and scientific methodology. My most recent books are: 2015. Hacer Ciencia: Teoría y práctica de la Producción Científica (Lima: Universidad del Pacífico Press, 2nd edition: 2019). 2016. Towards the End of Hunger (Lima: Universidad del Pacífico Press). 2017. La Pequeña Agricultura Familiar en el Perú: Una Tipología Microrregionalizada (Rome and Lima: FAO). 2023. La ciencia entre dos pandemias (1918-2020): Cambios en la organización de la actividad científica y su integración en la enseñanza (Univ. del Pacifico Press, Lima, Peru).
