About

My particular interest is in the links between community development and local food. I have a Masters in Rural Development, and my dissertation focused on local food supply chains in rural areas. I also spent time in Todmorden conducting a research project with Incredible Edible Todmorden. More recently I worked as a sessional worker for Urban Roots, where I particularly enjoyed bringing growing skills into schools and working with children in the outdoors. I am passionate about spreading food growing skills and building stronger communities everywhere.
