Anna Sigrithur has worked in the food sector for more than a decade as a chef-entrepreneur, a food service worker, a journalist on food issues, and a participant in local food systems in Manitoba and elsewhere. For more than 8 years, she owned and operated a catering company specializing in biocultural regional food where she grew familiar with the small farming scene in Manitoba.

As a journalist specializing in food issues, Anna worked at the Nordic Food Lab in Copenhagen in 2015 where she produced a series of podcasts for ‘Nordic Food Lab Radio’ about her time living in a reindeer herding village in Sápmi (Sweden), and most recently produced two seasons of ‘Ox Tales’, a food history podcast for the Oxford Food Symposium in the UK.
