Costa and I have a great rave as we walkabout through this amazing downtown food forest. We talk about urban food growing, permaculture, local food and other things that inspire. My 11yo daughter, and permaculture apprentice, did a great job filming us. I hope you enjoy this 18:48 minute film.

The food forest is located at the William Angliss Institute in Melbourne – home of the Masters of Food Systems and Gastronomy and venue for the 2018 Urban Agriculture Forum.

Earlier this week I posted a link to Costa’s Facebook live interview at the Urban Agriculture Conference.

Downtown food forest

The food forest is surrounded by high inner city buildings.

This food forest is also called a raingarden. A raingarden is a self-watering, low-maintenance garden designed to protect our waterways. They collect stormwater that runs off hard surfaces when it rains. Check out Melbourne Water’s useful introductory resource for this.

]]> With already more than half the world’s population living in cities, the conversation around urban agriculture needs to get bigger. Last weekend in Melbourne at the Urban Agriculture Forum we had an amazing gathering of people who are already doing it – sharing their successes, challenges, ideas and inspiration. There were farmers and academics, social workers and teachers, community health workers, community gardeners, sustainability activists and young people too. Inspirational conversations everywhere!

It was so great to catch up with Costa Georgiadis throughout the 2 day forum. This clip one of Costa’s facebook live segments taken during the forum. You can find my chat with him from 6:02 – 11:58.

Why not watch the whole clip to get a great sense of what was happening at the forum. It was the second ever national Urban Agriculture Forum. Great work Sustain Australia.
