Other projects

Consultancy work

My other hat is a project officer for Sustain: the Australian Food Network. Throughout my time I had supported and led the following projects.

GIS Mapping

Utilising GIS to map food environments in the North East Public Health Unit region in Melbourne for Sustain.

Impact Assessments

Designing an impact assessment framework for community gardens in the City of Casey to evaluate sustainability initiatives.

Local Food Collectives

Contributing to the establishment of a Local Food Collective in Wangaratta as part of Sustain.

Real-world change

I mentioned I believe in research as an ethos - this means that I not only write about and believe in the power of community gardening - but I do it as well. Here are some snapshots of my research-to-real life, real world change I am involved in.

Revitalising the University of Canberra University Garden

As a community research facilitator I led the revitalisation of the UC community garden from October 2024 - onwards.
