Jo Childs's Contacts

Jo Childs's Page

What is your previous experience with Organic Agriculture and Sustainable Development?: I have just finished a degree in international Relations, with a particular focus on Climate Change. I have studied environmental movements in the UK such as 'Transition Towns'. This movement aims to help towns become more self reliant, and less oil dependent. Promoting local food is a huge part of this. I have volunteered at the Eden Project in Cornwall, which aims to promote the public's knowledge of where their food comes from. I am a keen gardener, though perhaps on a small scale. My passion for promoting sustainable and conscientious food production would be demonstrated in my hard work and dedication. I am eager to learn, share ideas, and work productively.

What are your reasons for joining WWOOF Mexico?: Learning about sustainable living and agriculture

What do you want the farms and fellow WWOOFers to know about you?: I am easygoing and helpful. I speak Spanish - though not fluently it is enough to get by. I love music, reading, running, yoga and food with friends. I think too few people know where their food comes from, and too few know the true cost of their meal: often I don't. I want to!
