November Newsletter: Urban Agriculture Month

We would like to start by acknowledging the D’harawal Season we have just entered, The Time of Parra’dowee – Gooray’murrai. What a full past two months we have had, with the highlight being our very own Connecting over Fair Food + Crop Swap event! We celebrated Global Climate Change Week, shared local produce, heard about different issues in the food system, and re-connected with many of the fair food initiatives we have here in the Illawarra. November is #UrbanAgricultureMonth, a month-long celebration of growing good food in cities. Utilising the urban environment to grow fresh and local produce, from a few herbs or a flourishing backyard or community garden are all steps towards increasing food security. Keep an eye out for events happening for the occasion. Read on for:

With vaccination rates soaring, this season continues to be a hopeful time.This newsletter focuses on our Ensuring food security for all, an especially important topic at the moment given how the pandemic had exacerbated existing food insecurity. Food security is a basic human right and it supports the fundamental requirements we need to live a healthy life. With Covid cases surging in the Illawarra at the moment, especially through low-income and emergency housing, vulnerable people are at an increased risk of food insecurity. Donating, volunteering, sharing resources and working collaboratively goes a long way.Our newsletter also highlights the fantastic Amy Carrad who is our Fair Food Champion this season, and her research into healthy, equitable food systems. We also unveil our participatory campaign for World Food Week (13-17th Oct) and World Food Day (17th Oct)!
