Partnerships Manager | FareShare North East
As Partnerships Manager at FareShare North East, I’m keen to connect with other members of the AFN+ network to strengthen collaboration and grow our collective impact. By building meaningful partnerships, we can ensure that no good food goes to waste while supporting communities experiencing food insecurity. By working together to tackle food waste, we not only maximise resources but also contribute to improving health outcomes and reducing inequalities across our region. I’m particularly interested in sharing best practice, exploring innovative approaches, and identifying opportunities to collaborate in ways that create lasting, sustainable change.
With a background in Food & Nutrition, I’ve built my career working on strengthening the food system across the North East. I’m particularly motivated by the challenge of addressing food insecurity in ways that go beyond short-term fixes, focusing instead on sustainable solutions that empower communities and make better use of the resources already available to us. I’m driven by a belief that collaboration, innovation, and strong partnerships are key to reducing inequalities and creating a food system that is fairer, more resilient, and fit for the future.

Consultant | 3Keel
Landscape scale restoration strategies and projects, involving agricultural landscapes.
I have an MSc in Biodiversity Conservation and Management from Oxford, where I became interested in the role of food systems, and agricultural landscapes in particular, in biodiversity conservation. I am currently at 3Keel, a sustainability consultancy, where I work with industry, government and the third sector to design and implement regenerative agriculture and landscape recovery projects. In my current work, I have a particular interest in the role of landscape scale restoration projects in building supply chain resilience whilst supporting healthy ecosystems.

The interplay between food security and climate change challenges and the practical reality of farming. How can we find a common direction? This is an interest outside of my day to day role.

British Academy Global Professor | University of Oxford
Lecturer in Environmental Sustainability Assessment | Cranfield University
Holistic assessment of effectiveness and viability of solutions towards improved agri-food system sustainability, using state-of-the-art and novel life cycle based and stakeholder-centric approaches. I am also interested in exploring questions involving more fundamental science, for example around the evolution of land use related impacts and land system dynamics as a consequence of anthropogenic activity and environmental pressures.
Dr Georgios Pexas is a Lecturer in Environmental Sustainability Assessment at the Cranfield Environment Centre, Cranfield University. An environmental biologist by training, has undertaken MSc and PhD studies in geoinformatics and life cycle assessment for production systems in the primary sector. His research vision in Cranfield is to advance theory and methods for holistic, dynamic, and spatiotemporally relevant sustainability assessment, such as enhancing consequential Life Cycle Assessment frameworks through integration with novel modelling approaches powered by artificial intelligence. To achieve this, his work focuses on diverse case-studies within the food, water, energy, transportation, and service-provision nexuses.
