With:
Dr Margi Lennartsson, Associate Professor at Centre for Agroecology, Water and Resilience, Coventry University and, previously, Head of Research at Garden Organic, has been involved in a wide range of research on organic horticulture and sustainable food production systems, working with gardeners, community growers and commercial growers. Recently, this has included research related to the health and wellbeing aspects of community food growing. Margi is passionate about the benefits that can be achieved by encouraging people to take an active role in organic growing – benefits for the environment, for human health and wellbeing, for building stronger communities and for enabling people to live sustainable lives.
Jenny Griggs completed her MSc in 1997 around the auditing of organic farms which led to her co-writing the textbook Growing Green with her mentor in 2005. In 2009 she founded Climate Friendly Food CIC where she writes about sustainable land use. She manages a 5 acre farm and works part timd for Lancashire Wildlife Trust.
Tony Martin is editor of Growing Green International, magazine of the Vegan Organic Network. He has been vegan since 1986 and since 2003 has been running a 5 acre veganic smallholding in South Wales, UK using permaculture techniques. In 2011 he gained his Permaculture Design Certificate with Aranya and continues to learn about working with nature rather than fighting it. He believes that veganic agriculture can help reduce climate change, and improve the quality of life for both humans and animals.

Since then, one of her highlights has been co-developing the Lush Spring Prize – a project that aims to support the regenerative movement around the world.
