The National Sustainable Food Summit is a must-attend event for practitioners with an interest in how Australia's food system will tranform to meet the challenge of feeding more people with less over the next century.

The inaugural Summit held in April 2011, and attended by over 340 participants from diverse sectors and backgrounds, generated extraordinary consensus for the need to collaborate and continue the conversations necessary to generate change. 

2012 may be pivotal for Australian food policy - with the National Food Plan due for release. It is also appropriately the year of the farmer and year of the cooperative.

The 2nd Annual Sustainable Food Summit begins in Sydney on 3rd April 2012.  Over 2 days, we will progress the discussion from 2011 to begin to examine what new frameworks and emerging solutions will help support a sustainable and resilient food system for Australia now and in the future.  

A series of pre-conference workshops on 2 April 2012 have also been designed to bring people up to speed on the current issues and discussion from the 2011 Summit. 

Workshop 1 - Tranforming markets and value chains for sustainable food 

Workshop 2 - What are the key issues and shapers for Australia's Food System in the 21st Century 

Workshop 3 -  Systems Thinking and Transformation Frameworks 

We encourage anyone who is interested in this area to join the SUSTAINABLE FOOD SYSTEM CONVERSATION. This conversation is designed to feed into discussions at the Summit so will be particularly useful to attendees.

Please note that the published program is a preliminary version. We will continue to update the agenda over the coming weeks. If you would like to be notified of any speaker/program updates, please register your interest above.
