Growing on Country has been created with an understanding that it is not just ‘what’ you do but ‘how’ and ‘why’ you do it, and that significant change can happen at the very small, personal and localised level.
Growing on Country provides a unique space to explore, reflect and consider the foundations of what we are currently growing, and be active in creating the fertile conditions necessary for social as well as environmental justice and change.
