Maria Devereaux
Former Project Coordinator for the Growing Health. Maria Devereaux has now left Sustain.

With a background in marketing and PR, Maria is and always has been passionate about sustainable food. As project officer for Growing Health, Maria is looking at how community food growing can be routinely used by the health and social care services as a way of promoting health and wellbeing for a range of individuals and population groups.

Outside her Sustain work, Maria is also helping to set up a local veg bag scheme (www.localgreens.org) supported by the Growing Communities Start-up programme, and was formerly chief executive officer of Slow Food UK.

She is also a keen food grower and as a Master Gardener, she works with the local community to help them to grow their own. Great-tasting real food is pivotal in every facet of Maria's life - she even uses her kayak to go foraging.
