Food for Thought
learning about food growing and consumption in a city in a climate of change
Enter the °TEMP zone through a large edible gateway into the park like grounds at Corban Estate then join with the Roots Creative Entrepreneurs and local students to creatively contribute to making a portable community garden.
How do we learn to use shared spaces to grow food and the rituals of shared consumption to create supportive and resilient neighbourhoods in a city in a climate of change? The Roots Creative Entrepreneurs will lead this creative food project working with a social scientist, soil scientist and school students to build the entranceway to °TEMP as an semi-permanent edible gateway and a relocatable community garden to allow spontaneous dialogue between like interested people about the challenges facing practices of food production in a changing climate. °TEMP Food puts the focus on learning about sustainable food growing and consumption habits in a city and world under stress.
The Roots Creative Entrepreneurs are a collective from a range of industries including architecture, art, design, landscape architecture and education. The Roots aim to inspire the next generation through creativity and sustainability by delivering programmes, artworks, projects, events, festivals, exhibitions and workshops focused on young people and community.
