Whilst Australia is a food secure nation, our food system is facing a range of challenges. To respond to these challenges, and ensure Australia remains a consistent provider of safe, quality and nutritious food, the Australian Government has committed $3.5 million to develop Feeding Australia: A National Food Security Strategy. The strategy will be developed with farmers and fishers, industry and the community.
The strategy seeks to set a vision for a sustainable, resilient and secure food system that serves all Australians from producers to consumers. It will support Australia’s role as a trusted exporter of food, contributing to the food security of our trading partners.
