Global evidence and Australian research shows that kitchen garden programs and community gardens strengthen community resilience and play an important role in addressing preventable health inequities.

Dr Cathy Wilkinson will share insights from her time at the Stockholm Resilience Centre as well as the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation which has been supporting children and communities to strengthen community resilience through building positive food, health, wellbeing and sustainability habits for life for over 20 years.

Cathy has over 20 years leadership experience in community resilience and sustainable development in Australia and Europe. She led major metropolitan planning, environment and water reforms for the Victorian government including as CEO of the Environmental Protection Authority Victoria, was an urban resilience expert at the Stockholm Resilience Centre in Sweden for many years, and is a Professor of Practice at the Monash Sustainable Development Institute.

The talk will run for 75—90mins, including Q&A, and will be Auslan interpreted.
