Molly Garvey

As a 2024 Nuffield Ireland Scholar, Molly is researching cutting edge sustainability practices on farm and the factors that made them possible.
What does sustainability on farm and in food mean in different parts of the world and what does the route to success look like?

Molly comes from a Wicklow household of food policy and entrepreneurship. Always learning, with an MSc in the Centre of Cooperatives, UCC, and a start-up boot camp in the Netherlands, she is motivated by the challenge of sustainable food systems in Ireland and passionate that they are fair for all.

So far, this has led her to start social enterprises and consultancies in the food-ag space. She has also worked with GIY (Grow It Yourself), Irish Seed Savers Association, Climate-KIC, and is on the board of Community Gardens Ireland.

Molly’s Nuffield topic is close to her heart and she looks forward to sharing the findings.
