Food Sovereignty
Presenter: Robina McCurdy
Learn how a multi-faceted approach to localising food can get you out of supermarkets – forever! Find out how to counteract the decline in seed varieties and the rise of corporate control over our food and seeds. Discover how permaculture and community development methods applied to bioregional food resilience can recharge local economies.
My comprehensive mindmap framework of food sovereignty themes, each with practical application and great examples happening around Aotearoa, should ignite participants passion for this resilient way-of-life. The intention is for participants to become empowered as food sovereignty activists, armed with strategies to implement what they learned in the workshop within their local areas. Also to be inspired to network with some of the successful examples shared in the presentation.
