Fair and healthy food for all: A Victorian independent food system dialogue

Abstract

This report summarises presentations and a series of facilitated conversations at the "Healthy and Fair Food for All Summit," an independent dialogue process forming part of the global process leading to the first United Nations Food Systems Summit. Held on 27 June 2021, the all-day event was convened by partners of the Australian Research Council (ARC) Discovery Project, ’Strengthening Food Systems Governance at the Local Level’ (University of Sydney, University of Wollongong, and William Angliss Institute), along with Sustain: The Australian Food Network and the Right to Food Coalition (RTFC). ​The event brought together 120 participants from across the food system, and together attendees explored key challenges and opportunities facing Victoria’s food system (and other food systems) now and in the coming decades, along with concrete actions that needed to advance an agenda of progressive change.
