The Future is You,
The Future is Now,
The Future is C.H.A.O.S,
The Future is Farm.
During the 2011 Queensland floods, several regional cities were isolated for up to two weeks, preventing food resupply. In a regional city like Rockhampton, in order to reduce the insecurity of food during floods there must be a development of strategies that respond to the unique risks to which different ecosystems and livelihood groups are exposed. Every flood season, Depot Hill (south of the Rockhampton CBD) bears the grunt of the inundation. This is exactly where a community grown initiative - in the lowest area of disadvantage - has the best 'soil' for the development of new economic and agricultural methods of self-sufficiency.
