FOOD SUSTAINABILITY: Sustaining Victorian Food and Farming from paddock to plate

With funding from the William Buckland Foundation, this project commissioned by the Australian Conservation Foundation (ACF) is exploring the future of the Victorian food system (from paddock to plate) in a carbon, water and energy-constrained world. The draft background paper can be downloaded here in either low resolution (small files) or high resolution (large files). A workshop in Melbourne on 3 October will discuss this paper and start to develop ideas that will be further explored in a shorter propositions document that will be launched in late November.

The project is being carried out by Andrew Campbell of Triple Helix Consulting (formerly Executive Director of Land & Water Australia).
