About me

I founded a festival called EA Sustain which explores the intersection of Environment, Culture and Entrepreneurship. Since 70% of UK land is dedicated to agriculture, naturally, farming and food are a big part of the discussion. However, the programmes are variegated. Previous speakers have included Helen Browning, Patrick Holden, John Cherry, Jake Fiennes and many farmers, for example. In addition, I co-produce talk series with different partners, e.g., Food Museum, Tate Modern, regularly featuring speakers or authors writing about the importance of transitioning to a healthier food system.
