‘From Plains to Plate’ will bring together community, business and government to discuss the issue of strengthening South Australia’s food systems in the face of intensifying environmental, social and economic challenges.
The principle objective is to contribute to the development of food policy and community action that will provide healthy, sustainable and resilient local food systems for South Australia.
During the convergence, speakers and experts from a range of fields will discuss how local producers and successful government policies and programs can complement community activism in providing accessible healthy food and the necessary skills to cultivate resilient communities.
‘From Plains to Plate’ will bring together great minds and great ideas to produce a vision that will pave the way for making healthy and sustainable food systems a reality in South Australia.
