EDUCATE, SUPPORT, NOURISH
At Alo Solutions, we believe in sharing knowledge rather than restricting it. That’s why we speak on food systems and nutrition and offer consultancy on food strategy and nutrition to growers, food manufacturers and service providers in the food industry. We build a community of food professionals to share best practice. Because together, we can go further.

What people are saying
Alba Molina
EIT Food South
We selected Barbara from the EIT expert community, as it seemed to us a very interesting profile and a perfect fit with the theme of the event. A great professional career, with great knowledge that could be very interesting for the public.
The audience feedback is very good. The people were very happy and said that the way the talk was given was very enjoyable and dynamic. It was very interesting, and the way of expression made us pay attention to the whole talk.
We would definitely invite her to speak again.
Haleh Moravej
Senior Lecturer, Manchester Metropolitan University
On 14th of February 2018 Barbara gave a guest lecture to 47 first year Nutritional Sciences students as part of Nutrition in 21st Century Unit. The guest lecture was based on her Nuffield scholarship travelling to 7 countries in 6 weeks looking at sustainability, food chain, agriculture and food production. Feedback from students was extremely positive focusing on how Barbara had transformed a rather complicated concept such as sustainability into simple, clear and human centred logical and entertaining stories. Barbara is an exceptional professional, a very competent and confident presenter who is passionate and knowledgeable. I hope we can continue to work with Barbara in future to inspire and empower our Manchester Metropolitan University Nutritional Sciences students.
