Learning through hands-on work helps someone like me with a neurodivergent brain. Becoming an immersed learner requires something different for all individuals, but I believe that through bridging practical, tactile experiences with research is  where the magic of learning comes from.

This is called experiential learning.

By focusing on this as a practice throughout nearly everything I do, my goal is to make all people feel encouraged to become a part of their food world. From growing things and connecting with agroecological systems, to crafting something yummy in the kitchen with family and friends, it is clear there is commensality and connection within learning this way.
