We hope to inspire both government and civil society, local and global, to contribute to the Decade of Action and Delivery with concrete actions that accelerate the achievement of the 2030 Agenda. This includes growing one’s own food, creating a community food forest, in collaboration with businesses and the local government, and showcasing permaculture as a universal, hopeful, regenerative model to achieve food security and the health and well-being of people and the planet.
