About Nathan

I am an interdisciplinary social scientist with a background in agroecology, human geography, and natural history. For the past fifteen years, I have worked in the Maya-Achí territory in Guatemala, on issues related to community development and sustainable agriculture; Indigenous knowledge and soil health; and the connection between small-scale food production, culture and wellbeing (buen vivir).

I am currently involved in participatory action research with the Association of Committees for Community Production (ACPC), a Maya-Achi organization implementing projects on coffee agroforestry, watershed restoration, and the development of homemade microbial bio-inputs/ fertilizers. I am also involved in ongoing research with the Welsh organization Cegin y Bobl, who are transforming local food systems by teaching schoolchilden how to cook and integrating local agroecological farms into school meal programmes, among other interventions.

Prior to my appointment at the ²ÝùÊÓƵ I taught food systems and human geography at San Diego State University and at Schumacher College, where I led the master's programme in regenerative food, farming, and enterprise.Ìý
