Future Food

As we reflect on our planet’s finite resources, how can we reimagine our relationship with food to ensure there’s enough for everyone?

As the Creative Director of PermaQueer, an educational outfit that supports queer, POC and other vulnerable communities through permaculture education, Guy Ritani is deeply invested in forging reciprocal relationships within a greater ecosystem.

Guy’s Lunch Orders soapbox will consider the role of community and practices such as permaculture in the future of food.

If you would like to join the conversation, you can click here to submit your questions for Guy. You can also use this link to send us your thoughts after the event.

This event will be livestreamed on this page from 12.30pm on Wednesday 21 February 2024.

Presented in partnership with the Victorian Association for the Teaching of English

In 2024, grab a bite with The Wheeler Centre as we serve up Lunch Orders: half-hour conversations that can be livestreamed into any classroom or library, and accessed as a recording from the following week.

While you’re nourishing your body, let us feed your mind with this series of fascinating deep dives into the future as our experts respond to our Term 1 Lunch Orders provocation: What does the future hold?

Each serving will open with a 10-minute soapbox where our expert will deliver their response. They will then be joined by the Wheeler Centre’s Youth Programming Manager, Bec Kavanagh, who will facilitate a 20-minute Q&A that students can participate in via Slido.

Lunch Orders will have you back into the schoolyard with time to spare, with a few extra facts to pack in your lunchbox too.
