Who: Charles Darwin University's Northern Australia Food Technology Innovation project manager Dr Warren Hunt
Topics:
- The Northern Australia Food Technology Innovation project (NAFTI) is investigating innovations in food processing and value-adding of agricultural produce in northern Australia.
- In the last few years extreme weather events, the effects of the coronavirus pandemic, and more recently large transport business collapses have given populations in the north of Australia a foretaste of the tenuous nature of our long and extended food supply chains.
- Because of the relative resilience of the current Australian food production and distribution system, Australia has arguably slipped into some level of food security complacency – which is potentially problematic in more remote regions of the country.
- Regional food stabilisation policies should be at the forefront of government policy given the state of the world
