FARMER, businessman, author and Worimi man Joshua Gilbert will speak at the James Theatre at 11am on Saturday 25 October.
Joshua recently celebrated the release of his new book, “Australia’s Agricultural Identity – an Aboriginal yarn”, which “explores a new approach to Indigenous culture and farming, combining ancient knowledge and practices with new technology and insights” .
In his book, Joshua advances the thesis that Indigenous people have always been adapters, and as such their insights are essential for the appropriate development of agriculture in 21st century Australia.
The author will discuss learnings from his family’s multi-generational involvement in agriculture, traditional Indigenous practices, and how he sees the two working together.
The free event is sponsored by Reconciliation Dungog, the Paterson Allyn Williams Science and Ideas Hub, and Thrive Dungog.
It will also include an opportunity for discussion with Joshua about his topic.
The event will be followed by a fundraising sausage sizzle for Reconciliation Dungog.
