Our city on show: Sustainability and Food
How can we create a food system that nourishes both people and the planet? Spend the morning getting to know organisations that are creating a more sustainable food system in Wellington. Participants will learn about sustainable agriculture, food security, and unique funding initiatives that Wellington City Council is using to support sustainable food systems. We will be visiting:
- Compassionate Soup Kitchen Garden:This urban garden is located at Te Pūaroha Soup Kitchen. The Te Pūaroha has been operating in Te Aro, Wellington since 1901. The garden grows kai to be shared by all and offers opportunities for whānau to learn new skills, practice old skills, have fun being outside with others.
