Welcome to our April newsletter!
Welcome to our July newsletter! We have a lot to catch you up on, and many exciting things coming up. We would like to start by acknowledging the Dharawal Season we are about to enter, the Tugarah Gunya’marri – The Time of the Wiritjiribin. In a world of growing uncertainty and the rising cost of living, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Let’s however remember that particular during these challenging we have the opportunity to come together as a community and drive the positive changes that are within our capacity. From joining a community garden, growing our own herbs & veggies, sharing access with your neighbours and investing in our local producers – building resilience in our local food system will help us develop strengths against future shocks. We all have a role to play when it comes to our food!Read on for:
Lots has happened since our last newsletter!
The new year has well & truly begun, leaving behind us the Burran (kangaroo) season with its indicative blooming of the Weetjellan or Acacia Implexa (see Dharawal calendar story).
On the 18th of October, more than 110 dedicated food educators, advocates, producers, gardeners, and passionate food enthusiasts converged for the annual Connecting Over Fair Food event at the Shellharbour Civic Centre. Together, they explored how to build a food system that is more sustainable, fairer and resilient here in the Illawarra, especially in the context of climate change and the rising cost of living.
