About AgriDating: Where Love Grows Organically We are a collective of psychologists, sexologists, and eco‑activists who believe that the healthiest relationships—like the healthiest food—are locally sourced, sustainably grown, and deeply connected to the earth. Our work explores the intersection of human intimacy, environmental consciousness, and the simple pleasure of sharing a meal. Rooted in science, cultivated by experience Every author here brings two kinds of expertise: rigorous clinical training and a lifelong commitment to the planet. We’ve counselled couples navigating desire and attachment, and we’ve also marched for climate justice, planted community gardens, and learned that the principles of permaculture—care for the earth, care for people, fair share—apply just as beautifully to relationships. This synthesis is essential. When we discuss sexual health and consent, we align with the World Health Organization’s framework, which recognizes sexuality as a central aspect of being human. When we explore what makes partnerships thrive, we draw on the American Psychological Association’s decades of research on communication and trust. And when we ask why a meal together can be more intimate than a night out, we turn to the Kinsey Institute’s work on the rituals of connection. We also look to The Conversation for insights into the cultural and psychological links between food and love—because breaking bread is one of the oldest forms of human bonding. More than dating—cultivating a way of life AgriDating isn’t just about romance. It’s about the values we share: sustainability, community, and respect for all living systems. We write about sex, yes—but also about the ethics of eco‑activism, the joy of cooking together, and the quiet intimacy of planting seeds side by side. Our contributors include psychologists who double as organic farmers, sexologists who lead wilderness retreats, and activists who understand that personal and planetary health are inseparable. What does your carbon footprint say about your love life? Can a relationship be ethical and still passionate? We don’t offer dogma—we offer evidence, stories, and a willingness to ask the hard questions. Evidence, not greenwashing We don’t peddle superficial trends. We offer tools grounded in data—like the APA’s guidelines on healthy communication—and seasoned with stories from farmers, activists, and everyday people who’ve learned that love, like a good harvest, requires patience, care, and a little bit of luck. We’re members of the European Sexology Network and regular contributors to conversations on eco‑psychology, because knowledge should nourish both mind and soil. Welcome to AgriDating. Pull up a chair, grab a fork, and let’s explore how to grow love that’s good for you—and for the planet.
