If you have been watching your grocery bill climb, losing more of the garden to pests each year, or reading about fires and floods and wondering what you would actually do, you are not alone. And you are not wrong to be paying attention.

The good news is that a lot of what protects you is the same work, whether the pressure comes from prices, pests, drought or fire. Most of it starts in the soil.

This is a free conversation between Chris Outdoors and Compost Academy, bringing together two things that usually get taught separately: how emergency management professionals actually think about risk, and what soil biology can do to buffer against it.

Topics covered:

- How pest and disease pressure is changing, and why biology in the soil is one of your better defences

- Growing more food for less money, and cutting your dependency on bought inputs and the grocery store

- Fire, drought and flood: working with your landscape to reduce the risk before it arrives, and rapid biological recovery of damaged ground afterwards

- Being a steward of the land while building your own resilience, and what it means to be a regenerative responder

You'll leave with a way of thinking about risk on your land, in your family and in your organization that emergency managers use at a much bigger scale, and a clear sense of where to start.

Whether you have a small urban garden, a homestead, you work as a consultant, or you just have an interest in being more resilient in changing times, this is for you.
