Amanda: I am inspired and motivated to connect people to their own experience of the wonders in creating living soil and quality grown food that enables human health. What this synthesis creates and brings to our lives is fundamentally connected into waste reduction and regeneration at many levels.
I personally enjoy co-creating edible spaces of beauty on the land, the ongoing projects of my own home garden, extending food growing spaces and caring for the land. For example, a native nursery teaching space at the Titirangi Rudolf Steiner school that has evolved from the school’s own initiation and deepening of their zero waste journey.
I am thrilled to be a part of this developmental space of compost hubs being established in Auckland and throughout Aotearoa. In particular with this project helping to evolve and realise the composting systems potential for the wider community on the EcoMatters New Lynn site.
