Carina is thrilled to serve as the Executive Director of Feedback. After a stint in the business world working as a sustainability consultant for Environmental Resources Management, Carina realised our planetary ecological crisis would not be solved in the corporate boardrooms in which it was created.
She has since worked with a number of system change campaigning and movement building organisations, including Changing Markets in the UK and the New Economy Coalition in the US. A committed permaculturalist, she founded The Orchard Project, a charity working with community groups in cities across the UK to plant and nurture community orchards in public urban spaces. Carina has also conducted research into systemic change for sustainability as a Visiting Research Fellow of the Global Development and Environment Institute of Tufts University and as a Research Fellow of the Schumacher Institute. Her book, Frugal Value: Designing Business for a Crowded Planet (Routledge, 2017), provides a blueprint for organisations in an ecologically viable system of production and consumption.
