Nanotechnology and food production
Following the attempt to introduce genetically engineered food to an unwilling public, nanotechnology represents the latest high-tech assault on holistic food production. Nanotechnology, the “science of the small”, is stepping out of the lab, and into the food chain from paddock to plate.
Come along and learn about nanotechnology's implications for human health, the environment and food sovereignty issues.

The Right to Decide - The Nuclear Industry and Human Rights in Australia
Sun 18th | 2:00pm - 2:50pm Think tent
Most people are well aware of the damage of uranium mining and nuclear developments on the environment but the social justice side is often ignored. Indigenous people in Australia and around the world suffer most directly the impact of the nuclear industry.
From uranium mining to nuclear waste, indigenous lands are targeted for nuclear developments and with the support of the government their concerns are ignores and their right are abused.
This session will provide a space to further explore these issues and look at ways that each of us can be involves in creating a just future for all people.
