Good evening, everyone, and thank you, Rowan for that introduction. I'm really excited to be here tonight and to talk to you all about some of the research I've been doing, mainly in Australia's food system to do with food and insecurity. And I guess my key focus or research interest is how urban agriculture can play a role in making our cities more resilient, inclusive, and livable. So, as I started my research, I had this preconceived idea that our food system, you know, was very successful where a net producer and exporter of agriculture we, the majority of the food source that we have domestically is all produced about 93% by local farmers and we're ranked 5th in the world on the food security, global Food Security Index. So, it all looks pretty.

Printed "today", the speaker says "tonight"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "be here tonight and to". Both words start with the same letter, so listen to the whole word.

Printed "intact", the speaker says "interest"

Explanation: Listen again to "research interest is how urban". The first letter is the same, so wait for the whole word.

Printed "unprecedented", the speaker says "preconceived"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "had this preconceived idea that". They start with different letters, but both end the same, so trust your ears.

Printed "domestic", the speaker says "domestically"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "we have domestically is all". Both start with the same letter, but the spoken word is much longer.

Printed "prime", the speaker says "pretty"

Explanation: The speaker says "it all looks pretty", not "prime". Both start with the same letter, so listen to the whole word.

"Rowan" matches the audio

Explanation: "thank you, Rowan for that introduction" has a name you might not expect. It is spoken exactly as printed in the audio, so do not click it.

"Australia's" matches the audio

Explanation: "mainly in Australia's food system" looks like a tricky word. You hear it exactly as shown, so do not click it.
