This fig in new report from Rachel Carey Maureen Murphy & Tara Behen shows why we need a genuine whole-of-govt approach to #FoodSystem #policymaking , instead of typical silos - #health or #agricultural issue. Adequate food is a #HumanRight ; we're not delivering on that in Aus

Thanks Tahna Pettman for the shout out and a great example of a dignified approach to food access

How good is UK food resilience? Science has long warned of risks. New survey of food experts found most think significant civil unrest in UK is possible in next 50 years. Shortage of carbs eg wheat, bread, pasta, cereal are most likely food triggers. mdpi.com/2071-1050/15/2…

Just out - estimates of moderate & severe household food insecurity using global measure in 2020-22:

11.4% in Australia
7.6% for all High Income Countries

Too many Aussies doing it tough 😢

Australia ‘ill-prepared’ for food insecurity driven by war and climate crisis, former defence leaders say theguardian.com/australia-news…

The The Sydney Morning Herald still has the capacity to (pleasantly) surprise. Great comments by Rachel Carey on our export-driven food supply, and why Australia can’t take food security for granted.

Still time to to complete the Food and Agriculture Organization-@RUAF-@CIRAD survey on Resilient City Region Food Systems 👉 bit.ly/3m11ier
Please share! Findings will inform lessons on building the resilience to multiple shocks and stresses, including climate events, interstate conflict, pandemic.

Whereas UK Govt reluctantly threw c.£15bn at rocketing energy prices, why are food price fixes not getting the same attention? This week’s Govt Food Strategy (widely seen as weak and lacking detail) is not filling the void. The problem remains huge.
