Joe is a Farm Carbon and Soils Project Assistant with FCT. Before deciding to change his career, he taught abroad in South Korea where his childhood interest in nature and the environment was rekindled, and he decided to return to education.
Studying the Land and Ecological Restoration MSc at the Eden Project, he eventually decided to specialise in soil, influenced by the passion of his tutors, and specifically focussed on the field of soil health. Joe completed the second year of his MSc whilst also working as a Research Assistant on the EU-funded, ReCon Soil Project. His aspiration is to see a thriving natural environment where humans sustainably manage the land for physical, mental and emotional well-being.
