Here's what's happening this week in Sustainability!
On Friday, Bianca Ranson, a Māori organizer and outdoor educator, visited the Organic Farm. After a paddle to the farm and some seeding in the greenhouse, Bianca shared about her work in environmental activism and land and food sovereignty on Waiheke Island, including her community's māra kai (food garden) and its power for bringing people together.
