A Special Local Government Forum: Supporting Communities through the Food Crisis

This is a special edition of our Local Government Food Systems Network, bringing together council representatives to explore how rising fuel costs are affecting food affordability, access, and production.

What is the Local Government Food Systems Network?

The Local Government Food Systems Network brings together council staff working across wellbeing, health, environment, community development, food security and more. Our focus is on sharing our respective food system work, learning from specialists and identifying areas for collective action. From all over Australia, if you work in local government, you can have a place in our network.
