Katharine Millonzi

Operations and Development Manager

Katharine has a breadth of experiences in the sustainability and social change sectors worldwide. An eco-gastronome and food systems thinker, she brings an integrative, multidisciplinary perspective to the relationship between culture and nature. After several years work in international public health, she enjoyed being part of several start-up business ventures - from an artisanal cheesemongers to a fair-trade botanicals company. She recently directed the Sustainable Food and Agriculture Program at Williams College, where she examined the role of institutional procurement within regional economic development. 

Katharine holds an MA in Food Culture and Communications from the University of Gastronomic Sciences, founded by Slow Food International. She also holds a BA from the University of London in Social Anthropology and International Development. Her 2007 Fulbright Fellowship in Italy offered her a platform from which to measure and assess the responses of traditional food producers to global economic policy structures. Katharine is a trained massage therapist and herbalist who finds inspiration in ‘the peace of wild things'.
