Director of the Regenerative Food and Farming program at Schumacher College, Dartington Trust.

Nathan's interdisciplinary background includes degrees from The Evergreen State College (BS in Environmental Science), the University of Northern British Columbia (MS in Geography) and the College of the Southern Frontier (PhD in Ecology and Sustainable Development). Since 2008, he has worked in Mesoamerica on projects related to development-induced displacement, traditional agriculture and agroecology, and indigenous revitalization. Much of his research and accompaniment work has taken place in the Maya-Achí territory of Guatemala, where ancestral agricultural practices, crop varieties, knowledge and sustainable livelihoods are maintained amid enormous obstacles. He currently promotes the ACPC (Association of Community Production Committees) initiative, on the subject of agroforestry with coffee; projects for young people, in order to stop migration and rescue the traditional diet; and projects with women in the sale of organic products with local schools and the general market.
