iEat Green - Guest Amanda Terillo

As a young Registered Dietitian, Amanda grew aware of the disconnect between nutrition and agriculture. She pursued a graduate degree in Sustainable Food Systems to help her better understand how she could help bring them together. Formerly living in Washington D.C., Amanda and her family have relocated to Central Virginia. She now farms at Olive Branch Gardens, a small family farm and homestead, from which she continues to educate the public about the importance of Environmental Nutrition through presentations and writing. Amanda also holds a leadership position with the Planetary Health Collective which is an organization for food and nutrition professionals to use their platform to cultivate a more just, regenerative and climate resilient future for all.
