Meet the team - Gavin



Dr Gavin Kenny (48) has a background in horticultural science and agricultural meteorology. Gavin has been a labourer, student, traveller, husband, father, scientist, small farmer, facilitator and communicator.

For nearly six years now Gavin has been interacting with New Zealand farmers to develop and document - a grassroots perspective on climate change and adaptation. The outcomes of this work can be found at earthlimited.org.

Gavin’s focus since the early 1980s has been to develop and refine his holistic worldview and the fundamental role of healthy agricultural systems in sustaining healthy societies and economies.

Prior to developing his grassroots approach to climate change with farmers in New Zealand Gavin had spent a decade working on climate change projects in Europe, New Zealand, Bangladesh and the Pacific Islands. He was also involved in a sustainable development project in northern Viet Nam. This background in research and capacity building strongly influenced his subsequent work with farmers.
