At the weekend: I’m going out into the beautiful hilly Catalan country-side, to train for my next triatlon or just to relax and disconnect

An idea that powers me: Working towards a vision of nature-inclusive land management, where good land stewardship and growing healthy food are enabled, properly valued and rewarded, and where agricultural practices and other land uses are aligned with the flow of nature. I’m passionate about driving innovations and creating multi-stakeholder initiatives to make this a reality.
