Theme: Redesigning Fragile Food Systems- Lessons from the world's driest island

While we continue to relentlessly push for real change on a political level, what can we do on a grassroots community level to alleviate some of the hardships brought on by economic collapse?

Disruption is unsettling and can be disempowering. However, it also creates space for unprecedented change. Our upcoming salon is about stepping into that space and exploring ways we can self-empower, re-imagine, and develop an innovative community-led food system for all.

Our speaker, Jess Miller, will be joining us from across the globe, Sydney, Australia, to share insights, actions taken and lessons learned from the countless initiatives she instigated and developed in her own community over the past two decades.
