Consultant services: What can I do?

With almost twenty years working on food justice and sustainability projects around the world, I can provide advice on how to grow your food project. My work takes a food systems perspective, where from my beginnings in grassroots’ food waste through to working in international food policy projects, I have extensive knowledge of how others have extended their work from radical to formal, in person to virtual, and from grassroots to government impact. Let me help you in transforming your food project to help transform the food system in a just, sustainable and innovative way.

As an experienced researcher, I can manage research and urban sustainability projects from beginning to end, i.e., design, conduct, evaluate and disseminate the outcomes of a broad variety of research projects.

As an Evaluator for the EU ERC Starting Grant program and as an active participant in EU H2020 IA and ERC Consolidator projects, I can write full drafts or provide advice on what works for grant proposals.

As a work package leader in numerous international projects, I can support and lead on multi-sectoral, cross-cultural and interdisciplinary projects on sustainability issues. I have the skills, passion and experience to trouble shoot what seem to be insurmountable problems to achieve your goals.

As an experienced writer and self-starter, I can write articles and books on demand. For example, if you have a topic that you’d like written up, or would like support co-writing it, I know all the steps and have the extensive writing ability, to push it through to publication.

As a teacher in community and university domains (from teaching undergraduate through to supervising Masters’ and PhD students), I can mentor students from diverse fields and levels to help write essays and theses. With more than 20 years’ experience in academia, I can provide advice on how to best navigate the academic system.
