Food is important to me – you might have guessed, since I have been blogging about it for almost nine years now. Choosing seasonal produce for sustainability is very important – if you live in Australia, you might like to check out The Seasonal Food Guide. I love to attend my local farmers market each week and I am passionate about talking to my boys about where their food comes from {as well as trying to provide them with food in its natural state}.

“Julian Cribb’s, The Coming Famine, shocked me into action. It ripped me from my lull and made me reconsider how I ate and what I was doing for the planet on a day-to-day basis. Although sometimes uncomfortable in its clarity and urgency, it never exaggerates the food system challenges we face. Here, Julian and his colleges have summarised the book’s findings, with suggestions of some bold solutions. I’m yet to find a better introduction of the issues, so please read it for an express education on the environmental issues we face when it comes to our food system.” Cassie Duncan, Co-founder of Sustainable Table.

Here is the link, if you’d like to check out the discussion paper by Julian Cribb and Associates, summarised from ‘The Coming Famine: the global food crisis and what we can do to avoid it‘ published by the University of California Press and CSIRO Publishing, August 2010.

If you too are passionate about food sustainability and eating seasonally then you might be interested in reading; 6 great benefits for eating what is in season, 10 reasons to eat what’s in season, or top tips for choosing ethical pork products.

Or you might be interested in participating in a farmer to table workshop. This innovative workshop series brings together food producers and eaters in a fun, interactive cooking class. Hear the stories of small-scale regenerative farmers, cook with their delicious local ingredients and learn how they are transforming our food system for the better.

I don’t know if I could, but I’d love to try to recreate my own River Cottage – you know the series, River Cottage Australia, on Foxtel, which sees  former chef Paul West showcase local produce and farming while attempting to live in a self sufficient manner.

Every Saturday morning, we will open up the rabbit hole link up for bloggers to add their link list posts or even just their favourite post {if you are not of the link list kind} for the week. Please link only one post. This makes it fair for everyone and allows more posts to be read.

Talking of reading, do try and pop along to say hello to some of  the other lovely linkers. This week, you can link up here or bob on over and say hello to Sammie from The Annoyed Thyroid, Jess from Confident Life or Paula from  The Geeky Shopaholic. It doesn’t matter where you add your link because it will appear on both blogs, as if by magic!  The link up will stay open until midnight the following Monday. Alice is about to blow her mind! Grab a cuppa and attend this mad tea party. Add your “Link List” post or just your favourite post from this week…
