Our Creations

Aaren Topley and Colin Dring have spent over a decade building work in food systems, policy, and community led change, sometimes together as Creative Rupture, sometimes on their own parallel paths. This page brings that work together in one place, government and community reports, academic writing, media coverage, and the tools and frameworks that have come out of it along the way.
