Think Globally, Act Locally: A Grassroots Approach to Food Security 

Speaker: Chris Love, RECAP 

What can one do as an individual and what can we achieve together? Chris will discuss the kai-focused initiatives in her current work with charitable organisation RECAP based in Ashhurst/Pohangina, along with the volunteering roles which led her to this mahi. She will also touch on some of the Aotearoa based projects that demonstrate innovative ways to harness the power of community to forge a new path to food sovereignty.

Everyone welcome.
