Eating for our health and the environment - balancing nutrition and sustainability

In its role as Australia’s National Convenor for the UN Food Systems Summit, the Department of Agriculture Water and the Environment is pleased to announce a series of webinars which are part of Australia’s Food Systems Summit Dialogues.

These webinars provide an open and independent platform for Australian stakeholders including experts, academics, industry representatives, farmers, the general public and others to share experiences, ideas, opportunities and solutions on a variety of issues and challenges facing food systems. The aim is for these discussions to be open, transparent and as representative as possible. They are independent of Australian Government processes. A synthesis of these webinars will comprise a key part of Australia’s input into the pre-Summit in July and the final Food Systems Summit in September 2021.

This webinar will explore:

• current and emerging food choices and the intersection between diet / nutrition and environmental sustainability in Australia;
• various initiatives, innovations and research along the supply chain which seeks to balance environmental/nutrition considerations;
• innovative approaches to addressing food loss and waste.

Further information on panellists taking part in this webinar will be provided shortly.
