Part of our sustainable food systems funder group 

Sustainable food systems are complex and multifaceted with implications stretching from biodiversity, sustainability and carbon sequestration through to First Nations justice, human health, food security, regional and rural development and social cohesion.  It can be challenging to work out where to fund and what will make the most impact.  

This session will take a big picture overview of food and agriculture systems. Our speakers will highlight the many forces at play, and the high-level solutions required to shift to a sustainable system that is good for people and the planet. And of course, how philanthropy can help implement these changes.
