Kaitie Adams

Savanna Institute

Kaitie (she/her) leads the Demonstration Farm Program and emergent Partner Farm Network at the Savanna Institute. Based in flat lands of East-Central Illinois, her work focuses on creative and practical ways to connect people, build abundance, and create new futures on landscapes and in communities through perennial cropping systems.

Her background in anthropology (MA 2015, SIUC) helps illuminate the deep ecological and social connections created through agriculture and informs her work on the ground.

Kaitie lives in Urbana, IL, and works as a guest on the unceded lands of the Peoria, Kaskaskia, Piankashaw, Wea, Miami, Mascoutin, Odawa, Sauk, Mesquaki, Kickapoo, Potawatomi, Ojibwe, and Chickasaw peoples.
