2nd National Sustainable Food Summit

The National Sustainable Food Summit is a must-attend event for practitioners with an interest in how Australia's food system will tranform to meet the challenge of feeding more people with less over the next century. The inaugural Summit held in April 2011, and attended by over 340 participants from diverse sectors and backgrounds, generated extraordinary consensus for the need to collaborate and continue the conversations necessary to generate change. The 2nd Annual Sustainable Food Summit begins in Sydney on 3rd April 2012. Over 2 days, we will progress the discussion from 2011 to begin to examine what new frameworks and emerging solutions will help support a sustainable and resilient food system for Australia now and in the future. The summit will be addressed by a wide variety of Australian and International scientists, sustainability strategists and food system thought leaders, including Jeremy Rifkin, Julian Cribb, Colin Chartres, Olivier De Schutter, Kirsten Larsen, Robert Pekin, Nicola Watts and Michael Croft. 3 Pillars Network again collaborates with partners from across the food system including Meat & Livestock Australia, Grains Research & Development Corporation, Office of the Environment and Heritage, Dairy Australia, LRQA, Agrifood Skills, the Australian Food and Grocery Council, Agribusiness Association of Australia, WWF Australia, Net Balance and Responsible Investment Association.
