Cities and towns around the world are using a circular / regenerative approach to transform urban food and woody waste into carbon rich products such as compost and biochar and then sinking this back into urban land to improve carbon, water, vegetation and energy management and associated liveability, sustainability and climate resilience. Join Transition Town Vincent (TTV) as they host a range of speakers to find out the features and benefits of this approach and how it is being done elsewhere. Then join our tour of an adjacent food forest and circularity hub to see the principles being out into action.
At this forum and associated field walk you will:
– Hear from international experts, Professor’s Lyn Abbott, Nanthi Bolan and Stephen Joseph about the role of biochar, compost and microorganisms in enhancing soil health, improving water and vegetation management and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
– Learn how other cities globally have been using a circular approach to transform their urban areas into carbon sinks.
– Tour the nearby circularity hub where community members are making compost, biochar and growing microorganisms which they are using in a community food forest, plant nursery and proposed Black Cockatoo Forest.
