The Australian Conservation Foundation (ACF) has launched Paddock to Plate: policy propositions for sustaining food and farming systems. This is the second and final phase of the Future Food and Farming project, commissioned by the ACF and undertaken by Andrew Campbell of Triple Helix Consulting.
This report outlines 24 policy suggestions to the Victorian Government that would assist Victoria to equip its food and farming systems to produce more healthy foods more sustainably in a much more difficult climate, while consuming less water, energy and soil, fewer nutrients and without damaging biodiversity.
While the focus of this project was confined to Victoria, the vast majority of its findings and suggestions are relevant Australia-wide. These policy propositions build on a more comprehensive background paper that was published by the ACF in October 2008.
