Building Stronger Foundations for Humanity
Stronger Ground creates events, projects and insights focussed on progressive shifts in our society, economy, industries, and how we relate to the environment, contributing to practical work towards positive change.
Our approach
Building human networks
We bring people together in genuine ways that step out of the usual event box, hosting gatherings that engage people to deeply connect, to let down differences, share ideas and experiences, and think outside of the accepted mould.
Collaborating for social change
We believe if we want a better world, with stronger and healthier foundations, we have to roll up our sleeves and build one. We welcome collaborations towards this shared goal.

Field to Foundry
Industrial and chemical carbon feedstocks - raw ingredients like coal, oil, gas and graphite - are responsible for a massive 6% of total global greenhouse emissions. Meanwhile, the world is in an enormous food and post-harvest waste crisis, which contributes around 6% of worldwide greenhouse emissions as well.
Field to Foundry is a circular economy biotech project developing unique technology to convert food wastes into high quality carbon feedstocks for chemical and industrial use.
Our goal is helping to replace the fossil fuel building blocks we use to make most of the chemicals and built materials we depend on as a society, enabling a net zero emissions future.
Us and Them
Public debate today is full of quick, shallow “us versus them” messages that divide people into polarised tribes and oversimplify complex issues.
Us and Them will explore why people disagree so fervently and how we can understand each other better. It will explore big divides like baby boomers and millennials, people of faith and atheists, monogamy and polyamory, or community members who are anti or pro large scale renewable energy zones.
Our project aim is to help people see beyond black-and-white thinking, understand different worldviews, and move from “us versus them” mindsets towards a world that can embrace both “us and them.”
