Dig into the latest edition of
Freerange, a digital publication loosely grounded in our home shores, with contributions from around the globe. This issue takes a close look at the cross-roads of gardening and violence, which has produced some incredibly interesting reading, and plenty of food for thought, so to speak.
Freerange is a great, and expanding project, lead by "Chief Egg" and Editor Barnaby Bennett, a journeyman who grew up in Whangarei, and now resides sort-of in Wellington, and sort-of around-the-World.
Freerange's associated blog lets us know what its all about:
"Freerange is a regularly released online and print journal that
investigates the complexity of the city. Its leading proposition is
that we need to keep our wits about us while doing this, living in the
city is not just about understanding but engaging."
This issue is co-edited by Mr. Bennett and Gina Moss, who have done a sweet job, enough for me to end on a gem from their editorial which I think sums it up:
"If this second issue of Freerange was a cake then you would be about to tuck into
a feast of many layers, for the interaction between gardening and violence is varied and
complex. From the personal to the global this issue covers everything from backyards
to tectonic plates, climate change, vegetable gardening, global food production networks,
trauma healing, sustainability, design and non-violent resistance."
