The Future Is Grown: Why Fashion and Food Innovations Are Solving the Same Problems

​The Mills Fabrica is proud to be part of the inaugural Town Hall Vision Festival, a brand-new gathering of minds, where culture, science, ideas and live performance collide in Kings Cross.

​Join Emily Chan, Contributing Sustainability Editor at British Vogue, and Amy Tsang, Head of Europe at The Mills Fabrica for a two-part discussion looking at the shared challenges and opportunities across fashion and food.

​Emily will open the conversation by exploring why both fashion and food start with the soil, and how both industries ultimately depend on healthy agricultural systems. The conversation will examine regenerative and biodynamic agriculture, the use of chemicals such as pesticides and fertilisers and their implications for environmental and human health, as well as the role of regulation.

​Building on these themes, Amy will delve into how climate change and resource pressures are reshaping agriculture, and how fashion and food are increasingly turning to innovation to build more resilient systems. The discussion will highlight climate-resilient crops, regenerative farming models and new uses for agricultural waste, showcasing solutions that strengthen both industries while working in partnership with nature.

​Speakers include:

• ​Arizona Muse - Founder, DIRT Charity
• ​Natasha Nickson - Partnerships Manager for Beauty, Wellbeing and Textiles, Soil Association
• ​David Prior Hope - Co-Founder & CTO, Fibe
• ​Brendan Collins - Co-Founder & Chief Executive Officer, Avalo
