About

I am a social entrepreneur with a background in organic agriculture and fairtrade. My specialitiesare: Sustainable Textiles Supply Chain Development, Rural Development, Hybrid profit/non-profit Organisation Development, Strategy, Systems Thinking, Fairtrade, Organic Agriculture,. My inspiration comes from having lived on an organic farm in Rajasthan, India, and having learned how to farm, sell, design projects and mobilise communities for social change. My mentor farmer is Inder Dan Detha, Borunda village, Jodhpur. In Auroville we support people committed to change India's face for good, using their passion and entrepreneurial skills. At Seed to Self we support those involved in the international textiles sector to deepen their social and ecological impact, using self inquiry and inclusive practices.
