What is your previous experience with Organic Agriculture and Sustainable Development?: Hello my name is Jonathan but I go by Johnny. For the past two years I’ve been living a more simple off grid and organic life style that as been growing and evolving since. I have been living in the pacific northwest for the past 10 years and have accumulated a wealth of knowledge, skills and trades. I started working on commercial fishing boats up in Alaska as a technician for 6 years. Afterwards I decided to become certified in the welding fabrication trade that I learned working on the boats. I received my assoiates degree in 2012 in welding fabrication and engineering from Everett Community College and began working in the structural steel industry for two years. After becoming aware of the catastrophic impact that I was contributing towards this planet we live on, I decided to turn my life around. I have worked and lived on several farms since as a handyman, maintenance man, gardener, and animal care taker. I have taken up an interest in herbology and as healer I am particularly interested in medicinal plants flowers and natural herbal extracts
