ABSTRACT
Kitchen Table Sustainability outlines our EATING approach to
sustainability, incorporating Education, Action, Trust, Inclusion,
Nourishment and Governance. Deep understanding of all of these
components combined is essential to community engagement with
sustainability, just as proper and non-toxic nutrients are necessary
for a well balanced diet. Our concepts go to the heart of sustain-
ability. Our hope is that they will also reach into the heart of indi-
viduals and communities, stimulating cross-cultural kitchen table
conversations with people everywhere: community members, activ-
ists, educators, students, innovators, community engagement prac-
titioners, planners, developers, decision makers, bureaucrats and
many others. We are committed to empowering processes with
influence far beyond the life of an individual policy, plan or devel-
opment project.
