Acknowledgement to Country

Acknowledgement to Country: Terrablendz is not an Indigenous business, but acknowledges the traditional owners of country throughout Australia and recognises the continuing connection to lands, waters and communities. We pay our respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and to Elders past and present.

Terrablendz furthermore would like to specifically acknowledge the traditional owners of the land in which we operate, the Gubbi Gubbi people, also know as the Kabi Kabi people, the traditional custodians of the Sunshine Coast.

A Pathway to Environmental Sustainability and Resilience

Bushfood and traditional cooking in Australia offer a pathway to environmental sustainability and resilience. Embracing native ingredients and traditional cooking methods can reduce reliance on introduced species, which often require more water, fertilizers, and pesticides to cultivate. Many native Australian plants are adapted to the country's harsh conditions, requiring less water and maintenance, making them more sustainable choices for agriculture.

Additionally, traditional Indigenous land management practices, such as controlled burning, can help mitigate bushfire risks and promote biodiversity. These practices, honed over thousands of years, not only shape the landscape but also support the health of ecosystems and native species. By incorporating bushfoods into our diets and supporting Indigenous communities in their traditional practices, we can contribute to the preservation of Australia's unique environment and promote a more sustainable food system. Furthermore, the use of native ingredients can support the conservation of native flora and fauna, as it incentivizes their cultivation and protection. By celebrating bushfood and traditional cooking, Australians can not only enjoy a diverse and flavourful cuisine but also contribute to the preservation of their natural heritage for future generations.
