Adelaide Festival of Ideas

It was an honour for Damien and I to be chosen as panellists for the recent Festival of Ideas in Adelaide. The panel topic was ‘Souper Foods,’ alongside fellow panellists Ben Shewry of Attica and Professor Rachel Ankeney, we discussed the Native Food Industry at length (whilst enjoying the most delicious cup of Wattleseed Dhal made by Ben (FYI, the best dahl EVAH).

The conversation was amazing and an opportunity for us all to learn from each other. We discussed everything from creating access and building relationships, creating resilient communities to intellectual property. All big conversations and absolutely topics we are keen to explore more in coming months at other upcoming events.

Rebecca and Damien are hitting up Adnyamathanha country this week to run a First Foods workshop at the Marree pastoral bootcamp. Tickets are free and its a great opportunity to learn about Native food and plants. Bex and Damo will have books and products for sale too. 

Warndu means good in the Adnyamathanha language. Our mission is to REGENERATE culture, community, tradition, health and our soils. Every product we make includes one or more Australian Native ingredients.  Our products are all made in Australia from 100% locally sourced, seasonal and wild harvested produce.
