Matt is the founder of the Aguacateros movement and is a self-obsessed gardener and amateur avocado grower.

With a strong interest in permaculture and food forests, he has many years experience working in his own garden where he grows a wide variety of edible and medicinal plants, as well as growing a few edible mushrooms (another keen interest of his).

He is an advocate of degrowth (and volunteer with the IDN), and he describes degrowth as a movement which aims to encourage people in the Global North to reduce their level of consumption, as well as looking to dismantle our violent, extractive capitalist system.
