Mandy is a Regenerative Agriculture and Holistic Management educator and consultant. With a degree in Sociology and Environmental Affairs from Colorado State University, Mandy focuses on raising public awareness regarding the importance of relocalizing food, product and service systems while also ensuring those systems are regenerative and holistic. She has done a number of presentations and has also worked with farmers and ranchers to get their stories out to the public. She connects the dots for people as to how regenerative, local, Nature-inspired systems can reverse climate change and positively impact biodiversity and human health through regenerating soil and food.

Mandy is cofounding two new startups. Rooted in REAL (Regenerative, Ethical, Authentic, Local) will be an app that will educate and guide subscribers to food and beverage businesses that are sourcing REAL food and products, along with creating community and philanthropy around living regeneratively.
