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.

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 former The Land Institute intern and Civic Science research technician who completed her undergraduate degree in music therapy and psychology before teaching English and Swedish, 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 her to conduct research in rural communities, work on farms in various countries, and engage with community initiatives that improve local and regional food systems.
