Formidable Vegetable just finished up a massive week at the United Nations FAO’s World Food Forum with Indigenous Kimberley Desert rock/reggae group Family Shoveller Band, where they landed a feature spot at the grand finale event.
As an acknowledgement of Country and introduction to Family Shoveller Band’s ‘Wyirrt Wyirrt (Food of the Country)’ (a contemporary collaboration on a traditional song sung by the Shoveller’s great-great-great-great grandmother) the plenary was co-opted into a Eurovision-style permaculture dance-party to FoVeg’s ‘Thank You For The Food’ while past and present heads of the UN FAO were on stage accepting accolades.
Turns out they have some great dance moves!
