Food, energy and faith: Cooking up a climate revolution - a podcast by Anthony Gleeson, Jackie Matthews, Colin Mockett, Mik Aidt

The Sustainable Hour no 385







We start today with a report containing video clips from participants who was part of the GreenFaith action in Geelong on Monday. Here Muslims, Buddhists and Christians came together calling on our politicians to stop new coal and gas projects and support Zali Steggall’s climate bill in Federal Parliament. We hear statements from Queenscliff Lonsdale Anglican vikar Peter Martin, Hannah Mayer from The Drol Kar Buddhist Centre, and Geelong imam Muhammad Ramzan. This was one of over 500 GreenFaith actions world wide.







In The Tunnel on 20 October 2021 our guests are:







Founder and Executive Director of Sustain – the Australian Food Network – and lecturer in food systems at the William Angles Institute, Dr Nick Rose who we range widely with. From his connection with women farmers and ‘agripreneurs’ in Gaza rebuilding their farms to what he is doing closer to home, organising urban agriculture forums and activities, including the Melbourne Food Hub, Cardinia Food Movement and a report about urban agriculture. Now there’s a group who are very busy at being cutting edge climate revolutionaries! Nick can be contacted at: info@sustainaustralia.org.
