About

In the spring of 2010, Andrianna Natsoulas began a research journey to capture the stories of people working towards and living a just and sustainable food system. With their stories she created Food Voices: Stories of the Food Sovereignty Movement.

Andrianna has worked on food sovereignty since 2002 and with farming and fishing communities for over 15 years. She has organized around environmental issues, community empowerment and food policies in different capacities and venues.

Throughout the past ten years, Andrianna has coordinated with the global food sovereignty movements to protect local food production and distribution, fight trade agreements and build alliances. She has participated in protests around the world from Washington, DC to Cancun to Geneva to Hong Kong and has stood shoulder to shoulder with farmers and fisherfolk to defend their rights to provide local and culturally appropriate food for their communities.

In 1999, Andrianna moved to Washington, D.C. to join the Marine Fish Conservation Network and help build the new organization through outreach, program development and technical assistance. She did not expect to stay in D.C. for more than two years, but ended up making it her home for nearly ten years. Following the Marine Fish Conservation Network, Andrianna worked for Greenpeace as a researcher and campaigner for their marine campaign; Public Citizen as an international field director to fight industrial agriculture; and, then she created and directed the fisheries program at Food & Water Watch. Andrianna also served as the Food Justice and Markets Coordinator for the Northwest Atlantic Marine Alliance where she worked with fishing communities from Maine to New York. Currently, she is consulting for local, regional and national organizations.

Andrianna also loves fishing for salmon on a small commercial troller, called The Gavia in Southeast Alaska.
