The lab
A playground for bioregional innovation
The Lab is where we experiment, explore, and develop new ways to build resilience in South Devon and beyond. It’s a space for collaboration, curiosity and creativity – where ideas take shape, partnerships flourish and solutions take root.
Art + ecology
Creativity can be a powerful tool for ecological awareness. In this category, discover how we use art to inspire action, spark dialogue and deepen our connection to the natural world.
Bioregional banquet
Food and farming, alongside health care and tourism, is one of the three main sectors of the South Devon economy. Like water, the resilience of food and farming impacts on everyone in the bioregion. An opportunity to bring together many people in South Devon who are pioneering change in food and farming for climate adaptation, The Bioregional Banquet will celebrate the work of farmers as leading the way and help shift perceptions from farmers being the problem to becoming the solution. More than just a celebratory meal, within it will be a process for discussion, connecting and planning ahead. We will facilitate it so a pathway to action and a network emerges. Our role will be to hold the network in partnership with others.

Effective governance is essential for bioregional health. This category explores innovative models of collaboration, participatory decision-making and policies that align human systems with ecological realities.
