This project investigates the economic, environmental and social features of the deep-time traditional grains food systems of First Nations people in the modern world. This story is about revitalising Country by bringing First Nations knowledge systems and science together to think deeply about traditional grains food production. This research is based on Gomeroi Country, Narrabri and features species of grain native to this area and the traditional bush tucker knowledge of local custodians. This multidisciplinary project is run in partnership with the University of Sydney.
