Serenity also co-founded and works in a non-profit called Open Food Network. Open Food Network receives funding from government and philanthropy to conduct research and pilot new approaches to agriculture and food systems. Current projects include:
1) the national Discover Regenerative Platform, aimed at showcasing regenerative agriculture to business buyers.
2) a Food Subsidy Pilot Project, funded by Citibank foundation, to develop a voucher system to help low income households access good food.
Serenity also advises Sustainable Table which directs philanthropic funds to food system transformation and Moving Feast, which is a collaboration of food social enterprises in Victoria. She is on the steering committee of the National Regenerative Agriculture Advocacy project, which coordinates advocacy to the Federal government around regenerative agriculture.
Serenity compiled and maintains the publicly available Agroecology and Regenerative Agriculture Knowledge Commons which is a 110 page compendium of the published science pertaining to agroecology and regenerative agriculture.
