Kitchen Table Sustainability: Practical Recipes for Community Engagement with Sustainability

by Wendy Sarkissian, Nancy Hofer, Yollana Shore

Kitchen Table Sustainability offers a unique view of sustainability through the lens of community engagement. It takes sustainability out of the ivory towers of universities, government departments and planners to the kitchen tables of the world. This practical guide distils decades of wisdom from community planning, engagement and sustainability practice internationally into a user-friendly and engaging book that is both inspirational and packed with hands-on tools. The core of the book is a bottom-up approach to participatory community engagement and development, referred to as EATING, that consists of six components: Education, Action, Trust, Inclusion, Nourishment and Governance.

Sustainability should not be a jargon-filled exclusive discourse - it should be a part of the every day conversation. This book picks apart some of the key themes surrounding sustainability in a conversational and friendly, approachable way.
