Elaina Michael

Accredited Educator + EOV Monitor | Utah, USA

At California Polytechnic State University - San Luis Obispo, Elaina received her Bachelors in Animal Science, followed by a Masters in Agriculture, in which she gained in-depth knowledge of California grass species and their associated digestibilities in beef cattle. As a former collegiate athlete, the connection between health, nutrition, and how food is produced is of utmost importance. Her desire to witness agriculture in other parts of the world led her to farm in Scotland, and herd and milk Sarda sheep in Italy. Her fascination with plant-animal interactions, and the discovery of the work by Fred Provenza, provided her a connection to Utah State University (USU) where Elaina led sheep palatability trials and was highly involved in research on environmental impacts of cattle in multi-species pastures vs. feedlots. She has returned to USU and currently grazes sheep for vegetation management. Beginning in 2018, she spent two and a half years with Point Blue Conservation Science & the USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service, where she worked closely with landowners in Mariposa County, CA, equipping them with invaluable education on land stewardship. Her thorough work resulted in the development of a Conservation Plan that ranked number one for benefiting declining species in the State of California in March of 2021. Elaina is now an Associate Educator and Ecological Outcome Verification monitor with the Savory Institute, and has partnered with the Miliare Group as a Financial Educator. Her mission is to lead generations back to the land through repairing and improving systems (family, business, land) to function in the way they are meant to be.
