Join four experts for a free public talk on climate resilience, sustainable food systems, and regenerative agriculture in the Mid West.
Presented by DPIRD and hosted by the Museum of Geraldton, this event is for anyone interested in learning about the farming origins of local produce and how to make more sustainable choices in both the garden and the kitchen.
Amanda Rowland
Geraldton local writer/podcaster Amanda is an advocate for the interconnectedness of ecological and human health. Her work explores topics from holistic land management to sustainable food choices, and having recently completed a Holistic Management course, she continues to work with a loose group of like-minded urban and land-based regenerative thinkers.
Dr. Lisa Kirkendale
Head of Aquatic Zoology and Curator of Molluscs at WA Museum is passionate about the evolution, biogeography, phylogenetics and diversity of molluscs. She continues to be both excited and frightened by the scale of WA, a theatre albeit that well utilizes her experience in both temperate and tropical systems. She is fortunate to work closely with an amazing team of passionate scientists in the Aquatic Zoology department to better understand the diversity of species in this state.
