The geographies of community food provisioning in Metropolitan Sydney

This project aims to develop a typology of the diverse geographies of community food provisioning across Metropolitan Sydney so as to improve the ability of famers, consumers and organisations to sufficiently and ethically supply just food. It will explore the contributions food initiatives make in caring for and addressing injustice in the city. By conducting a citywide survey of community food initiatives and key informant interviews with sector leaders, it will document the aims, customer base, sources of supply, funding structures and challenges faced by the initiatives. The project will generate knowledge of how diverse food initiatives address justice issues in the context of climate change, increasing demand and insecure supply.
