Riverina agrihood
Community resilience and local food precinct
A place-based pilot on Wiradjuri Country
purposefully regenerating planet, place and
people
Our vision
For Albury to be recognised internationally as township with food security throughout the seasons and affordable housing options for diverse resident needs.
Our mission
To implement an agrihood of 25 affordable, eco-sustainable homes for 75 residents with cohousing design principles adjacent to regeneratively managed farming allotments that produce 300% of fresh food needs for residents by 2027.
What?
A community design that incorporates food growing with regenerative practices, care of the ecosystem, has affordable housing and creates opportunities for resource sharing and social connection across all ages.
Where?
West Albury within 10 minutes bike ride to central connecting area (CBD) of town.
How?
Like many cooperatives throughout Australia and the world it will be based upon membership systems, inclusive governance, social enterprise and circular economy.
When?
Right now, 2026 and beyond.
Who?
The project was seeded by Dr Jason Hilder from Co-Creating More in 2025.
We welcome:
- Co-founder farmers
- Landholders willing to partner
- Relationships with local businesses
- Financial investors
Why?
We are currently facing many societal, ecological and economic problems.
It is time for positive solutions.
And it will be fun to co-create new ways of living and food growing.
