Rooted in an innate love for food, Edith’s broad mix of experiences and education around food have ushered her to seek out an understanding of the complexity of food systems, and the connection between food, people, and society. With a background in cultural studies, social anthropology of food and gastronomic sciences, Edith works today as a Food Culture Strategist and runs her own company UNA to foster sustainable food systems through heart-centered leadership. She works with projects that are anchored in understanding various food-related patterns, trends, and behaviour in society and in cultural expression: Why do we choose to eat the way we do and the things we do; How do we impact ourselves and our surroundings with our foodways; How do we form the foodscape within us and around us. Edith's core competence lies in her holistic approach to food and her ideas about how food can be used as a social tool to drive change –  to not only raise awareness but also to unlock new understandings about the world to ultimately generate impact beyond what’s simply on one’s plate. She is an insatiable food geek who is always looking for new ways to reshape the world for the better through the power of food.
