Harvestsafe Aotearoa! ๐ ๐ฅ๐ฟ๐พ calling al Community Gardens
๐ฅฌ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ซ Calling all community gardens and mฤra kai! Here is a project that we think you'll be interested in - introducing Harvestsafe Aotearoa! ๐ ๐ฅ๐ฟ๐พ
Harvestsafe is a limited-term research project on community garden and mฤra kai soil in Aotearoa New Zealand. Mฤra/gardens can join the research as community-scientists, and learn more about the environmental quality of their soil while helping us learn about soil around Aotearoa! We'll ask you to fill in a 15-minute questionnaire and send a bag of soil from your garden to the University of Auckland. We will send you a report on metal contaminants and be in conversation with you about what next.
They are now receiving new garden/mฤra recruits until the end of December 2024, so share widely and get in touch with our researcher Moss at bcao914@aucklanduni.ac.nz asap if you'd like to participate!
See the poster to learn more about Harvestsafe Aotearoa, and check out our website at soilsafe.auckland.ac.nz... to learn more about our wider programm

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?
