Claire Milne
Claire is passionate and committed to helping transform people's relationships with food and to challenging the corporate-led globalised food system by creating resilient local food systems.
She has worked as a consultant for Bristol City Council, recently completing the Sustainable Food Strategy for Bristol: a ground-breaking policy that seeks to revolutionise the city's food chain by identifying how the Bristol Food Network can support projects, organisations, businesses and individuals in developing sustainable food practices.
At a national level, Claire is actively involved in Transition Network, a chain of cities and towns across the UK working to raise awareness and prepare for peak oil and climate change, and she is developing their food and farming programme. She is also an Adviser and Assessor to the Big Lottery's Local Food Fund and previously worked in London for Sustain: the Alliance for Better Food and Farming.
Claire's work draws on her Masters in Social Anthropology of Development, BSc in Psychology, and professional background in global social justice, along with a lifetime of independent travel – prior to her growing awareness of the climate-criminal credentials of air travel!
