We were lucky enough to be joined by Chris Ennis from CERES Community Environment Park, who gave us some insight and great learnings on how sustainable food systems and projects can be achieved in an inner city setting. Chris is the Director of Business Innovation at CERES, with a profound love of cabbages and launching social enterprises.

Could this work in the Yarra Ranges too?
Another great example of a wonderful community program that brings community together through food and gardening. Alanna, one of our student dietitians chats with Peta.
Peta Christensen from Cultivating Community agreed to sit down with us to chat about how creating a sustainable food systems program has benefited the community she works in.
