The Farming Futures Cycle Tour
As part of my PhD research, I'm planning on setting off on the most ambitious adventure I've ever done - cycling a cross-section of the country to speak with farmers about their visions of the future.

It feels kind of intimidating to make my first post here... but seems fitting to share my wild idea for my PhD fieldwork: a three-month cycle ride across England to explore visions for the future of farming!

a better world is possible
From a space for cars to a place for people — one of my favourite past client cities, Groningen Netherlands. Another powerful before-&-after transformation 1960s vs 2021.
In recent years one of the city’s biggest challenges has been where to park all the bikes.
Seriously.
A good problem to have.
