We teach, advocate, grow, build and nurture food security which help promote local, resilient and sustainable food systems here on the Sunshine Coast. With hundreds of volunteers, together, we have founded many of the largest farm and food projects events here on the Sunshine Coast… Farmers’ Markets, Community Gardens, Tool Library and more. One Straw Society’s mission is to provide education, advocacy and community connections which empower people to access and engage in a local, resilient, and sustainable food system.
