What will your ‘fair food future’ look like in 2045, and how will we get there?
We are keen to hear from younger audiences so if you are 18-30 or working in engagement with this demographic get invovled.
You’re invited to take part in a national research study exploring how community food organisations can impact Australia’s future food system.
The growing pressures of climate change - combined with rising hunger levels and food supply chain failures experienced during COVID-19 - illustrate the urgent need to redesign our food system. In light of these challenges, UQ researchers are running a series of workshops with community food actors to discuss their role in future food system transformation and formulate collaborative pathways for action. Together, we will co-create an action plan towards ‘fair food’ for Australia and contribute to national dialogues on the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Outputs will be available to the public at fairfoodfutures.com
Ill be helping out with the first session discussion :
1. Youth, Food, and Climate Action
This workshop seeks to imagine a ‘fair food future’ where young people are empowered to define new models of food production, consumption and governance based on improved food and land affordability, skills and mentoring, inclusiveness, diversity, health and wellbeing. Participants are invited to design pathways through which youth voices can shape equitable outcomes at the intersection of climate action and reducing hunger.
This workshop will be presented in partnership with Young Farmers Connect – a national not- for-profit network providing resources, peer support and community for young farmers to farm for the future, supporting the use of regenerative, holistic and sustainable agricultural practices.
Participation includes attendance at 2 x 2 hour sessions, organised around:
1) Scenario building/refining - Monday 29 November, 9.30am - 11.30am 2) Defining action pathways - Wednesday 1 December, 1 –3 pm
