Food Community n Jobs - Callum Champagne - Green Connect - APC14-2018

The Green Connect farm is one of the country’s leading examples of urban agriculture. It is an 11-acre urban farm that uses permaculture and organic principles to produce fruit, vegetables, herbs, eggs, honey and free-range meat. The farm is located on land behind Warrawong High School. They have been developing the farm in order to: - Create more jobs and employment pathways in a region with too few - Fully utilise the land, activating the farm as a space in which the community can engage - Expand our impact by sharing what we do (showing people what is possible and teaching and inspiring them to reduce waste and grow fair food themselves) Cal Champagne spoke at the 14th Australasian Permaculture Convergence in 2018, where Behind the Lines recorded him.
