Tonight's guest Russell Shields talks food security for asylum seekers. After years with the food rescue operation SecondBite, in 2014 Russell co-founded The Community Grocer, a not-for-profit and social enterprise that aims to improve access for people living in public housing to fresh, affordable food. These days he works at the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre, working to ensure that asylum seekers have access to good food, and drives the ASRC Food Justice Truck.
About this program
There is a crack in everything, that's where the light gets in. Each week the Greening the Apocalypse team talk to the tinkerers and thinkerers, the freaks and geeks from permaculturists and eco-farmers to alt-tech innovators and peer-to-peer information networkers who are growing fascinating new systems through the fault lines of the old.
