Panel Discussion Time: 6 - 7.30pm Drinks and Discussion: 7.30-8.30pm The New Environmentalism: Linking food, environmental and political activism "How can we foster a culture of collective activism to address society’s most pressing environmental and social issues? The growing links between the environment, health, food security, poverty and social justice reflect an emerging understanding of the structural forces that negatively impact people, health and the environment. How can we thread together seemingly disparate initiatives and social movements to create the sustained social pressure and political will necessary for transformative change?" |

< New farmland profiles - Sept 2018! >
Do you have land that could be more productive?
Would you like to connect with a local young farmer to develop an agricultural enterprise and increase the profitability and sustainability of your land? Looking for land? Leave your farm profile on farmLinks Let us grow together. 
We seek to create a platform to facilitate information sharing, to co-generate new ideas and solutions and to coordinate support for small farm enterprises.
The Northern Rivers Young Farmers Alliance is a voice for young farmers in the region and an inspiration for those beyond. Targeting growers and producers under 40 with goals in sustainable land management and ecological agriculture. The NRYFA focuses on small scale producers and local food economy projects, startups and innovative enterprises. Building unity through support, networking and collaboration we want to promote the exciting work of young farmers in our area. |
We want to engage young people in sustainable agriculture, develop pathways for collective skills development and grow opportunities for young farmers.
The new school of farming is more than a commitment to ethical land stewardship and we believe that only through positive networks and collaborations can we have a truly sustainable food future.
We know that small scale farming is the way and that long term, happy and viable farming careers and land management will be the essential foundations for successful food production now and into the future.
Lets pull people, skills, ideas and land together like pieces of a puzzle to enhance and develop our
local ecological agriculture industry.
