Amelia Thompson

Amelia Thompson holds a Master of Science in Sustainable Agriculture from Wageningen University in the Netherlands, the world's leading agricultural research institution. She has spent a decade working at the intersection of food systems, environmental sustainability, and culinary culture.

Amelia has written for The Guardian, Bon Appétit, and Modern Farmer, and contributed to a United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) report on urban agriculture and food security. She has lived and farmed on three continents, studying traditional growing techniques from Japanese forest gardening to Peruvian terrace farming.

At MyCookingCalendar, Amelia writes about growing your own food, understanding where ingredients come from, the environmental impact of food choices, and how connecting with food's origins transforms the way we cook and eat. She runs a 1.2-acre farm in Vermont, grows over 60 varieties of vegetables and herbs, and teaches urban growing workshops both locally and online.
