About the Conference

Sustainable food systems are critical across the globe, as societies grapple with the challenge of feeding growing populations while minimising environmental degradation, ensuring social equity, and fostering economic prosperity. Africa’s existing food systems maintain disparities and neglect to tackle the increasing levels of hunger and malnutrition.

The Food Governance Conference will disseminate advocacy efforts and research initiatives aimed at advancing discussions on food governance challenges confronting South Africa and beyond. The conference will delve into various themes, including:

Advancing healthier diets through effective food policy and governance, drawing insights from case studies in Australia and around the world.

Exploring governance frameworks within Indigenous Peoples’ food systems.
Addressing issues of equity and social justice within food systems.
Examining the intersection of food security and sustainability.
Investigating the influence of commercial factors on health outcomes.
