Farm Team and Education

For over a decade, I’ve worked in community food growing projects and networks as a grower, educator and organiser. Some of this work has included: facilitating gardening sessions with families at Papa’s Park; teaching food growing qualifications with OrganicLea and Living Under One Sun; and setting up a market garden through a FarmStart programme. In 2021 I completed an action research PhD working with colleagues to develop deep democracy as part of urban agroecology- an element of this being to co-facilitate the creation of a community-led food policy for the Wolves Lane centre. Other work has included: research into agroecological learning for the Urbanising in Place project, and being the lead writer of Sustain’s Fringe Farming report 2022 which makes the case for agroecological farms at the edge of UK cities. Outside of GCK, I work as a school gardener alongside trying to be a supportive and cool dad!
