Biography
I am a food anthropologist and freelance multimedia journalist living in Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park, Wales. I have a particular interest in food sovereignty and grassroots resilience, exploring how we can continue to eat in a rapidly changing world while upholding biodiversity and cultural heritage. My work therefore sits at the intersection of food, culture and climate.
I am an active member of the UK's only agroecological union, the Landworkers' Alliance, and have seen at first hand the effects of climate change on our food systems here in the UK. But we are yet to feel the worst effects. This Fellowship offers me the opportunity to visit communities already living on the front lines of extreme changing island climates to better understand community-based resilience thinking in the face of crisis and how they are mitigating against food insecurity by adopting locally adaptive food practices in the name of food sovereignty.
I seek intimate stories that tackle big issues, raising the voices of those often left unheard. Through this Fellowship, I will tell these stories of resilience using multi-media to help ignite urgent public, political and sectoral conversations.
