GLOBAL PERSPECTIVES, LOCAL IMPACT
Since 1965, around 3,500 Australians have been awarded a Churchill Fellowship, supporting overseas exploration to learn about innovations in diverse spheres of social life, and bring back lessons that may be of wider benefit to the Australian community. Hear from 4 Churchill Fellows – 2 who have completed their trips, and 2 who face the new uncertainty of overseas travel in 2021.- Dr. Nick Rose, Sustain
– Naomi Lacey, Community Gardens Australia
– Gavin Hardy, Gavin Hardy Designs
– David Mason – Retired Multifunctional agriculture consultant

INCREDIBLE EDIBLE
Incredible Edible started after a group of friends turned this question into action. Growing spaces led to conversations that encouraged people to imagine that the power of these small actions could help people live happy, healthy and prosperous lives. Lives lived in connected communities, built out of the power of their own will, their own imagination and grown through the power of small actions.
– Pam Warhurst – Incredible Edible
– Naomi Lacey, Community Gardens Australia

INTERNATIONAL URBAN AG CHAMPIONS
Hear about how Norwegian CSA’s take particular care of their members who harvest directly from the fields themselves and work on the farm with the farmers. Learn how community orchards in the UK are responding to the climate crisis. Be inspired by agriculture in the city taking forms of resistance and adapting to dominant power.
