The Food Community project

The Food Community project was created to explore the many initiatives that support healthy food availability, access, use, stability, agency and sustainability, and strengthen how these initiatives work together to support food security action at the community level. The project started as a pilot in the South West region of Western Australia in 2018, and is now being implemented across Western Australian regions including the Wheatbelt, Midwest, Great Southern, Kimberley, Goldfields and Pilbara regions. This website has been developed to support the Food Community network and to connect participants, stakeholders, and the wider community. It provides details of a range of government and community initiatives, information and resources about food security, details opportunities to connect and collaborate locally, and ideas on how you can advocate for improved food security for all.
