My next destination:
Italy - from Apr 2024 until Aug 2024 View allDescription
Hello, I’m Anna and until recently I was based in Bristol, UK. I worked on a CSA there for two years, but I am now on a break from the busy seasons to learn about what I don’t know - particularly would love to focus on tree management (fruit but also agroforestry systems), growing grains and cereals, and seed saving.
I’m passionate about community organising and being somewhere where the politics of the wider agroecological movement, the struggle for food and social justice and the practical act of growing food are connected is very important to me.
I enjoy being in groups and working with people, I facilitated a series of community groups on the farm where I worked and would love to explore other ways of doing this.
Finally, I am from Italy but have been gone for nearly 11 years (other than family visits), so I am now back for 6 months to be able to connect to the community of farmers/growers/organisers back here.Languages
