The Australian Food System Policy Dashboard
A Food System Horizons Launch Webinar
FRIDAY, 24 October 2025
12:00 to 1:00PM AEST; 1:00 to 2:00PM ADST
ONLINE MS Teams
Australians have growing aspirations of our food system, and meeting these is going to rely on more coherent and connected policy across the range of sectors and actors involved in the food system. The Australian food system policy dashboard is an interactive tool that can be used to visualise and explore the various Federal level policies shaping the Australian food system. It is a step towards better understanding policy coherence in our food system, as it maps 56 individual policy activities across 12 federal portfolios.
Join us for the launch of the Australian Food System Policy Dashboard, hosted by Larelle McMillan, with Dr Jessica Bogard and Dr Jeremy Farr as speakers, and special guest Amelia Olsen-Boyd as discussant.
