David Connell
Dr. David Connell describes himself as a social philosopher. He draws upon his varied experiences in community, economic, and business development to understand the world we live in. David has undergraduate degrees in Economics and Commerce with a Master degree in Business Administration. As he ventured through life, his interests shifted to local economic development, sustainability, and then onto communal living. His doctoral studies focussed on the meaning and pursuit of community. David's interest in the inland temperate rainforest combines his expertise in environmental planning and local economic development. With his students, he is studying the non-timber social and economic benefits of the ancient cedars. When not in the rainforest, David directs his efforts to help build the capacity of local food systems, which he believes are a foundation for societal change. Current research includes agricultural planning, farmers' market development, and agricultural adaptation to climate change. Recent research includes a provincial study of the social and economic benefits of farmers markets in BC in Canada.
