collaboration. The Backcasting to Achieve Food Resilience in the UK (BAFR-UK) project aims to identify interventions in the food system to make it less vulnerable to external shocks and tipping points over the long term. We are especially focusing on policy recommendations. To achieve these goals, we will work closely with key stakeholders and their representatives, including farmers, food producers, importers, distributers, retailers, citizens, NGOs and more. The project will build on stakeholders’ knowledge to deliver a transformation towards resilience. Please reach out to bafr@aru.ac.uk to sign up to our news letter and to find out more / get involved with our research

Composting farm manures and crop residues/waste for improved soil health, farm resilience, reduced reliance on chemical inputs. Exploring mapping tools and using field tests to think holistically about the farm as a living system. Collect data using a mix of in-field observation and microscopy to measure the effect of this on soil health, farm productivity and resilience.

About me

I am a design educator working at the intersection of art and ecology. I use tools of design thinking and creativity to replenish and restore soil's biological processes that co-evolved with plants over millennia. I promote using natural microbes specific to place to make a special kind of controlled compost that is alive with the keystone organisms that make up the soil food web. These are usually applied to soil as either a seed inoculant or liquid amendment. I am a certified soil food web technician and microscopist and can offer biological analysis of soil and composts, I also offer microscope training to individuals and groups to equip farmers with the skills to assess the presence/absence of benefical microbes in their soils and composts.
