The Northern Rivers region faces complex and compounding challenges that reflect the broader planetary crisis — from climate-related disasters and ecosystem decline to biodiversity loss, growing inequality, and rising homelessness. Meeting these interconnected challenges calls for a shift away from isolated, business-as-usual approaches toward more collaborative, systems-level responses.
Now, more than ever, our region — and the world — needs strong, connected networks of local leaders, organisations, and initiatives with the skills, knowledge, and relationships to mobilise place-based action and drive meaningful, systemic change.
At Seed Northern Rivers, we play a vital backbone role in this transition. We convene and support a diverse ecosystem of organisations, guiding collaborative action and shared infrastructure that allows local solutions to thrive.
Below are some of our flagship projects that demonstrate the kind of impact we’re enabling — together.
