About the Author

I have studied food from just about every angle.

Through the lens of anthropology—understanding the links between food and identity, culture and territory;

Within the context of discourse and power—exposing how our narratives around food are constructed, who shapes them, and who benefits;

In terms of holistic health—exploring connections between soil and human health, as well as the impact of mindset on human and planetary health;

In relation to sustainability—investigating climate justice, degrowth and regenerative practices. The more I learn, the more I understand that all of these components are interconnected.

I have worked on various “sustainable” farms to understand the love and labour behind producing food and the challenges faced by farmers. I studied nutrition and holistic health (focused on Eastern medicine philosophies) to understand how the imbalances in our food systems are connected to physical and mental health epidemics. I worked in research and consulting to create more sustainable food systems, exploring regenerative practices.

This site is a culmination of my academic and lived experience. The goal is to highlight connections and to look at food in a new way to cultivate conscious awareness for a more healthy and resilient world. Please contact me if this resonates with you and you are interested in collaborating.
