Alex’s background is in veterinary practice and wildlife health. With an ever increasing interest in land management and its effects on the entire ecosystem, including humans, Alex has a particular passion for ethical food production — especially in relation to harnessing the resilience of, and increasing respect for, the natural world.

In addition to her investigative research into the benefits of a systems-based approach to grassland management, Alex is also a director of Wilderculture, chair of the Vet Sustain Food & Farming working group and part of a sankalpa funded research group — Regenerative Food Systems.

Wilderculture Vet Sustain - Food & Farming Working Group

Regenerative food systems may appear to be quite unrelated to some of the more spiritual aspects of our work at sankalpa. But reconnecting ourselves to our ecosystems through the food that we eat dovetails beautifully with many of the changemakers, and the projects they are involved with. It is by combining respect, complexity, dynamism, regeneration and diversity that we create sustainability.
