We must adapt to climate changes where we experience them: locally.
At the 2011 United Nations conference on climate change I researched the affects of climate change on East Africa and the need for adaptation strategies. A year later, I observed those strategies first hand in the form of local community empowerment and sustainable agriculture at a semester program in Tanzania.
Food is my passion. In Tanzania, the United States, and the rest of the world, we must adapt our agricultural systems in response to climate change and other environmental, health, and social justice challenges.

With a degree from Dickinson College in Environmental Science, I was most recently currently employed with the USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) promoting sustainable grazing practices. Before working with NRCS I completed a six-month internship as the Dickinson College Organic Farm livestock and research apprentice.
My experiences showed me that community action, education, and empowerment are effective, sustainable ways to combat challenges to our food systems. I plan to employ my skills in visual media outreach, community building, leadership, and agriculture – improving community recognition of and participation in sustainable agriculture, local food consumption, and small business economies.
In April of 2015 I embarked on a 3-month roadtrip and moved to Durango, CO - a town I chose based on it's incredible natural beauty and environmental history. Currently, I am establishing myself in Durango and enjoying all the town has to offer.
I invite you to take a look at my portfolio of grant writing, scientific papers, and visual media, including videos, posters, logos and websites. If you have any questions, or wish to contact me, feel free to email me at: emilyannbowie@gmail.com.
Best,
