Public Park Transformed into an Urban Food Forest
The City Food Commons shares the story of Roimata Food Commons, an urban permaculture food forest initiative driven by Otautahi Christchurch local Michael Reynolds. The aim of the project is to empower the community to co-create space in a public park, reviving the notion of the Commons, which was once so common in societies around the world. The term Commons refers to a space that holds or creates resources that are nurtured by the community for the long term benefit of the community. This is “a step away from the transactional relationship that dominates the way that we act in the world”.

The Maori term of kaitiakitanga can give us a new way to understand being a guardian of the places we love.

Take a step away from transactional ways of being in the world. Give away something you would normally "exchange" or charge for to a total stranger.

Good food for everyone who needs it, whether it is for free or if it is for a payment. Such inclusiveness, such a clear demonstration about what 'oneness' really means. Wow!
