How can we create a food system in the Northern Rivers that’s not only secure but also fair and flourishing?
This is the question that will be front and centre at a forum in Lismore this week.
The Adaptable and Resilient Food Futures in the Northern Rivers forum, a collaborative effort between Plan C and the Living Lab Northern Rivers, will take place at the Living Lab’s premises on Woodlark Street, Lismore on November 2.
The forum is a chance for the community to come together and share in the findings of the Northern Rivers Food Resilience and Security scoping study.
This study, a joint venture between Plan C, the University of Technology Sydney’s Institute for Sustainable Futures (UTS-ISF) and Wild Community, is a stepping stone to a broader conversation a secure, fair and flourishing food system in the Northern Rivers.
Stick around after the discussion for a chance to connect and enjoy a delightful, local and seasonal light lunch courtesy of Twisted Tucker catering from Casino, with thanks to Southern Cross University for their support.
