Join us in this special episode that brings together a range of voices to explore their developing collaborative project; The Power of Food. Together these four guests bring a diverse range experiences and knowledge to unite around the common goal of building social cohesion by harnessing the connective power of food. Connecting with where our food comes from, and also with community, with health, with nature and with the world around us. Holistic and expansive.
It was a delightful conversation to be engaged with and I’m so excited to announce that during our chat a decision was made to fast forward plans and move forward with a pilot right away! If you’re serious about taking action to connect and enrich the local food system around you I’m sure the team here would love to hear from you.
