Join us for a three-course, veg-focused organic dinner and talk by Rob Greenfield as he shares his journey on how he managed to grow and forage 100% of his food for a year. No food stores, no restaurants and no exceptions. Nothing packaged or processed, no pesticides, no foods shipped long distances. Nature was his garden, his pantry and his pharmacy.
Why? To inspire you to connect with your food, come together with your community and take back the power from the industrial food system.
In 2011, Rob Greenfield woke up to the destruction of our current global, industrial food system. He realised that the food he was consuming, was consuming the planet. This realisation disrupted his dinner, and since then, the food on his plate has never been the same. Rob has been exploring food for nearly a decade now, and since the beginning, he's had the burning question, would it be possible to step away from Big Agriculture? Could he exist outside this system and eat in a manner that was in harmony with the earth? You can learn more about this journey by clicking here.
In this talk, Rob will share his journey towards Food Freedom and how you too can work with your community to put your food, your health and your dignity back into your own hands.
Date: Thursday, 12th March
Timings: 7pm arrival for dinner at 7.30pm. Talk to start at approximately 8.45pm
