Glandore | Food Matters

Join us as we explore the impacts of our food choices and what we can do to support sustainable, fair and healthy food for all.

Join the Food Embassy to explore the impacts:

• Identify the simple things we can do as consumers and food citizens

• Hear from others who are creating a new, local food system

• Discuss ways to work towards food that is affordable, delicious and sustaining for both our families and our planet.

We are passionate about making sure we can all afford and enjoy delicious quality food. With populations growing and the cost of food rising, access to food - particularly for disadvantaged sections of the community - is becoming increasingly important. Sustainable eating will make a real difference to food security, local economies and our own health: as well as the health of the planet.

The food system is changing to meet the challenges of the future. The topics covered will include, what are the challenges impacting our food supply. An overview of the dominant industrial food system and the emerging regenerative and local options. We will look at the economic and social impacts and consider both environmental and health impacts of food choices. We will be hearing from a local producer and retailer, One Small Bakery and the practical food choices we can make, actions within our communities to help create the food systems we would like for the future.

Food Matters is bought to you by The Food Embassy supported by funding from the Adelaide and Mount Lofty Ranges Natural Resources Management Board and the City of Marion.

Places are limited, so book early to avoid missing out.
