Fair Food Futures is a project conducted by researchers from The University of Queensland funded by The Australian Research Council, in collaboration with civic food networks in Australia. The Fair Food Futures project explores the visions for change put forth by community food networks in Australia, as they seek to progress transformations towards sustainable food futures, and identifies the strategies, challenges and opportunities for making civil society’s visions for fair food futures come to life. Between 2019 and 2022, the research project involved more than 100 participants including a diverse variety of stakeholders within the Australian food system, through interviews, participatory workshops, and participatory scenario building. We asked: What does your fair food future look like? And how do we get there? In this video, our panel speakers explore the policy opportunities to materialise the visions of civic food networks in Australia. Thanks to our panelists Leah Galvin (Churchill Fellow), Kylie Newberry (Founder Our Food System) & Amy MacMahon (MP South Brisbane Greens).
