Katie Brimm has had a lifelong fascination with the nexus of humans and the natural world, and uses food and agriculture as the lens from which to explore it. She has worked for over a decade in the food movement as an educator, storyteller, activist, & no-till farmer. Growing up on a ranch at the headwaters of the Colorado River gave her an early connection to the importance of land stewardship, collective action, and a curiosity about how food and climate connect humans across the world.As an educator, speaker, and author, she works to center underrepresented voices and issues in the food movement. Her published work has been featured in anti-racism, food sovereignty, climate and queer ecology trainings across the country. Katie ran an international solidarity travel program focusing on the social movement around Food Sovereignty where she gained an intimate connection to international and local issues, leading her to co-found Farmer Campus, an online learning platform for agriculturalists. Katie has run seven successful in-depth education projects related to climate resilience and socio-environmental justice. Over the past 7 years, she’s collected case studies of small farmers’ experiences of impact around climate change and increasingly devastating wildfires in the West. She also facilitates online courses in business resilience for farmers with organizations like California Farmlink and the National Farmers Union.Katie is a Public Voices Fellow through the Yale Program on Climate Communications and Op-Ed Project. She has a BA in Global Studies from UC Santa Barbara, certificates in Visionary Leadership, Agroecology & Sustainability, and is a Lexicon fellow through the Reawakened project – a collective of international storytellers working with farmers, scientists, entrepreneurs, and food activists to share the re-emergence of forgotten crops across the globe and the communities and cultures they preserve. She is currently getting her Masters in English through Middlebury College and is dipping her toes into fiction and creative nonfiction writing. After 13 years in Northern California, she works from a small town in Colorado with her dog Posie, and enjoys cooking, hiking, and laying in high mountain wildflower meadows.
