24.01.2022 Hannah cutting a coolaman on the Young Mob road trip

22.01.2022 Yeah our Blak Markets turn 6 this weekend and it coincides with International Women's Day so we can celebrate our amazing female stallholders who form the backbone of our markets.

17.01.2022 What native ingredients do you use and would you like to know if an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander person, business or community has benefited from the sale of that native ingredient? These questions and more will be tackled at our National Indigenous Bushfood Symposium which will look at some of the barriers to the entrance of Indigenous people to this booming industry and try and ensure they can play more of a role into the future. And we're so proud that our beloved Mark Black Olive will be opening the Symposium with Rayleen Brown wild harvester and caterer from @kungascancook!

14.01.2022 So lucky to have these 2 amazing women help so many Indigenous people who attended the National Indigenous Bushfood Symposium from right across Australia get such a strong National Indigenous Bushfood Statement over the line at the end of two days of such amazing discussion, learning and inspiration.

03.01.2022 We acknowledge the custodians of this plant information and hope that one day soon that they will also benefit from this knowledge. Which is why we are organising the National Indigenous Bushfood Symposium in November for Aboriginal people and business to come together to work out what needs to be done to not only protect cultural IP and knowledge but also ensure they benefit from this booming bushfood, medicinal and botanical business from which they are largely excluded. Be...cause as it stands today, Aboriginal people cannot use the Aboriginal word Gumby Gumby to name their products as it has been patented by a non-Indigenous business and any Aboriginal person publishing these plants have medicinal knowledge will have their hands slapped by regulatory bodies as you can't claim this unless you've undertaken the many costly procedures involved in claiming medical properties - given most Aboriginal business and people cant afford to do this - it generally leaves the commercialisation of this plant knowledge for medicinal use in the hands of the pharmaceutical companies who can afford to do the trials needed to claim medicinal status.
