A recipe for a #sustainablefoodsystem - and #FoodForAll #Healthreimagined

"Community gardens need to be supported by local govt. Parklands need to be redesigned to provide food growing areas. Water needs to be returned to Australian farmers growing food...
"...Restrictions need to be in place to prevent our best soil being built on. All Secondary school students should be involved in growing food during yrs 7 to 10 so they understand where food comes from & how to prepare it....
"...Support the expansion of the Stephanie Alexander KGF (or similar) into secondary schools. Create a permaculture course in all Tafe colleges employing our existing accredited teachers....
"...Greater recognition of gardeners & farmers rebuilding our depleted soils through regenerative agriculture and/or composting, & recycling of all organic matter into compost....
"... Support & promotion of Farmers Markets & a system that pays the farmer or local grower a decent price for their produce whilst restricting importation of foods we can produce here in Australia."

In April 2020, @IPESfood released its communique on #COVID19 'and the crisis in #foodsystems: Symptoms, causes and potential solutions". Important reading for all concerned about #FoodForAll & #HealthReImagined
ipes-food.org/pages/covid19#
"The COVID19 health crisis has brought on an economic crisis, & is [making worse] an ongoing #foodsecurity & nutrition crisis. In a [few] weeks, COVID19 has laid bare the underlying risks, fragilities, & inequities in global food systems, & pushed them close to breaking point."
"The lockdowns and disruptions triggered by COVID-19 have shown the fragility of people’s access to essential goods and services. In health systems and food systems, critical weaknesses, inequalities, and inequities have come to light."

"Ppl who use food assistance...say they experience stigma, shame and hopelessness...seeking food assistance...is traumatic, stressful and detrimental to one's health & wellbeing' - @ChristinaPolla8 @DrSueBooth "Food Insecurity & Hunger in Rich Countries' - europepmc.org/article/pmc/pm…
'The Australian government is failing to fulfil its legal and moral obligation to guarantee the #humanright to #adequatefood for at least 1.2 mn people'. In a country that boasts about being #foodsecure & 'feeding 60 mn people', this is an indictment
The human right to adequate food is universal - everyone has it, regardless of who they are or how much money they have - and it is inalienable - it can't be forfeited or surrendered. Poverty is no reason for a person or group not to have access to adequate food at all times
