Nate Halverson is an Emmy Award–winning senior reporter and producer at the Center for Investigative Reporting, covering business and finance with an emphasis on the global food system. He has reported across the world, including Russia, Guatemala, England, Zambia, China, and Venezuela; and on investigative topics ranging from financial fraud and organized crime to uncovering and reporting on a tech company’s internal company documents that helped result in people receiving a $155 million settlement from the company.

Nate broke the international news that California was literally sinking – a result of farmers over-pumping groundwater in the drought-stricken Central Valley. He revealed the Saudi government’s plan to support the acquisition of food and water resources around the world, from Argentina to the parched deserts of Arizona. He reported on classified cables from the US State Department that detailed the growing anxiety of wealthy countries about looming water and food shortages.
