Anna Andersson

Anna Andersson grew up in the Red River Valley of North Dakota, but many places in the world feel like home to her, particularly the southern region of Sweden where she lived, studied, and worked for five years. She now makes her home in Salina, Kansas.

Anna enjoys building networks of resources and relationships to provide accessible ways to collaborate on ecological and social questions. She has devoted her studies and work to the intersection of agriculture, education, research, community organizing, and non-profit program management. Anna is a past TLI intern who completed her undergraduate degree in music therapy and psychology before teaching English and Swedish language, studying physical geography and ecosystem analysis at Lund University, and most recently facilitating a sustainable agriculture community learning program for beginning farmers in North Dakota. Her interest in agriculture and people’s relationship with their landscape has led to doing research in rural communities, working on farms in various countries, and being engaged with community initiatives improving local and regional food systems.
