Other Projects

Aside from research and writing, I work and consult on community-based and data-driven projects focused on agriculture, food, climate, health, conservation, community development, and more. I often work with a team, whether it’s producing a film, creating a new website, researching and writing presentations and reports, or delivering workshops. 

Learn more about my other projects and get in touch if you’re interested in collaborating.
