Hello All,
I am an inexperienced blogger, so forgive me if this information should be shared differently. There are a couple of other websites which may be of interest/ use to some of you. The first is Vichealth, the Victorian health promotion website which has a section on food security and has achieved some great projects- much more advanced than NSW. Website is www.vichealth.vic.gov.au
The other website is www.sustainablebluemountains.net.au
I am happy to add that there is a document titled, Healthy and Sustainable Food Guide, posted on this website which I worked on!
Good on you Elizabeth for starting the blog.
Karen.

Food Security
This blog is for a small group of friends who want to learn more about how to ensure that there is enough food - for everyone everywhere.
As blogger first past the post (!) I'd like to draw your attention to Belo Horizonte - Brazil's fourth largest city which in 1993 declared food a right of citizenship: then came the hard work. The city implemented a range of innovations including arrangements between local farmers and communities, farmers markets and 'people's restaurants'. By 2003 Belo's infant death rate dropped by more than half, and benefited almost 40 per cent of the cities 2.4 million people.
Read about it in an article by Frances Moore Lap writing in Yes magazine.
