    Mini-Hoon Live with Bernard Hickey, Catherine Knight & Mike Joy on the Reality of Everything & Food

    I recently hosted a ‘Mini-Hoon’ on Substack Live previewing The Reality of Everything symposium to be held at Victoria University of Wellington on June 26, which will examine the interconnected crises of climate change, energy, water & food constraints, economic instability & public health. I was joined by substacker Catherine Knight and academic Mike Joy to talk about the symposium, which Catherine is helping organise and Mike is speaking at. We started by talking about the need for the Symposium and referring to the National Emergency Briefing held in the UK last year, including an address on food security by Paul Behrens. The video of his address is below via Youtube. Here’s recent posts on substack by Mike Joy and Catherine Knight on these topics. Here’s Catherine’s substack post announcing the conference. Thank you Lou Nash, Pauline Arnold, Terry A, Greg Nalder, and many others for tuning into my live video! Join me for my next live video in the app. This is a public episode.
