About
We will explore how approaches to food and farming can dramatically transform our relationships with soil, soul and society to create thriving lives for people everywhere.
Through a series of 4 weekly online events, we will uncover the connections between Food & Farming and:
- Ecology & Ecosystems;
- The Economy & Community;
- Mythology & Our Relationship with Nature;
- Cultural Narratives & Imagination.
Participants will have the privilege to learn from farmers, thinkers, nutritional experts and practitioners from around the world.
We will gain understanding of dynamic solutions that are reviving ecosystems, communities and cultures globally, as well as ecological, cultural and practical approaches to transforming how we live, think and act.
The gatherings are designed to be transformational. Learnings are embedded in traditional practices, science and recent research, and aim to enrich human life in times of ecological crisis.
