Episode Synopsis "Truth-telling and the ancient knowledge of Indigenous food systems"

First Nation knowledge surrounding sustainable food systems has largely been ignored in Australia. In this episode we consider how all of us can acknowledge and learn from the historical denial of this ancient wisdom to build common ground for the future. Host Adrian Hearn and co-host Lara Anderson are joined by Zena Cumpston, a Barkandji Woman from Western New South Wales and Research Fellow in Urban Environments, and Chris Williams, a board member at the Collingwood Children's Farm with a passion for growing sweet potatoes. A podcast from the University of Melbourne's School of Languages and Linguistics. Produced and edited by Adrian Hearn and Gavin Nebauer.
