About this Event
In this workshop, Dan will share some of the findings from his doctoral research into different food futures for Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland.
Participants will be taken on a journey through the roots of our food system crisis, to the possibilities embodied by urban-grown food and the various ways that their outcomes might be won.
Dan will cover the findings of his interviews and his work alongside 20 of Auckland’s many diverse urban agriculture practitioners.
As part of this workshop, participants will be guided through a series of interactive visioning exercises to help co-create a rich space of future possibility, grounded in work in the now: gardens that we can help grow.
