Hannah Grant

Undergraduate Honors

Hannah (she/her) received her BSc degree in Environmental Studies and Geography in 2022. She is grateful to live and learn on the unceded territories of the Lekwungen and WSANEC peoples. Hannah attended the 2019 Uvic Geography Tanzania field school where she learned about local conservation, resource management and community planning. This inspired many questions for her, including questions around the impacts of extractivism in the global south and the ways in which we, in the global north, directly benefit. In the summer of 2020, Hannah worked for Salt Spring Island Community Service’s Harvest Food Program where she became interested in sustainable food systems and supply chains. These two spheres of interest have merged for her through the undergraduate honours thesis she is working on with Dr. Sophia Carodenuto that focuses on cocoa origins and global supply chain sustainability within the artisanal chocolate industry. She is very excited to be working with Dr. Carodenuto and the Northwest Chocolate Alliance to explore the intricacies of maintaining relationships to cocoa origins as a method of enhancing sustainability.
