Foodswell works to improve food security and to support the people, communities and environments who make healthy food grown in a healthy system possible. 

On a hot and hungry planet, our food security and landscapes are increasingly vulnerable. In a time of global unrest, financial uncertainty and unprecedented pressures on accepted current global systems and supply chains, we have very little time left to re-imagine and establish a new way to be and to thrive and at the same time ensure that the planetary systems that we live within and depend upon remain intact and robust for all generations.   

Within that very broad context we seek to establish a fair and equitable food system that sustains all of us, within a natural environment that is also healthy. 

Foodswell helps unlock and promotes action for healthy food grown in a healthy system for all Australians. 

We do this through research, community conversations and projects, policy contributions, advocacy and education.

We partner with, listen to, advise and encourage government, academia, lead agencies, industry, First Nation's and the wider community to bring about change for more robust systems that will underpin nutritious, ecologically sustainable and affordable food for all Australians. 

Foodswell activities include Nourishing Matters to Chew On podcast (2020-), build upon the Remote Indigenous Gardens Network (RIG Network, est. 2009), The EduGrow Remote School Garden Awards (2012-16), and numerous community projects we have (and continue) to co-design and deliver with partners, eg. The Big Lunch - Food, Family, Community (Moree, Brewarrina, Inverell 2015-2016) and From Triage to Recovery: Healing people and country together, Greater Sydney Basin, in partnership with WSU, 2020
