My Travel Story

I am a food science student in the UK with a strong interest in global food security and sustainability. I believe that this internship in the galapagos Islands is a once in a lifetime learning experience. The future of food security is being threatened by climate change and is a huge problem we need to tackle. By living and working in this unique island I will gain invaluable knowledge and experience on how to implement and sustain local and global food security. This project will also benefit the local community in the galapagos by allowing endemic produce to be grown and reducing the islands heavy reliance on imported foods.
