FOOD IN THE CAPITAL
Building City-Region Food Systems
17 November 2020
18-19 May 2021
9-10 August 2022
Australia's only national conference dedicated to
city-region food systems
Did you know that improvements to our Food System as discussed at FIC could, for a city the size of Canberra, conservatively:
-
Generate up to 3,000 jobs for the local economy?
-
Reduce the city's grocery costs by $200 million?
On the 17th November 2020, Canberra played host to the RDA ACT Food in the Capital sustainable food conference program. It was the first of a series set out to connect people from across the industry including farmers, food businesses and manufacturers, community groups, thought leaders and policy makers;
On May 18, 2021 we hosted event 2 in the series, Food in the Capital 2. Held over two days, Day 1 was an exciting exploration of urban and regional farming, logistics and social enterprises. Day 2 our delegates saw food in action, choosing either the rural or peri-urban tour showcasing local producers in the Canberra region.
On the 9th and 10th of August 2022 the story continues. We will be deep-diving into the topics that matter most to you, offering a blend of in-depth panel discussions, workshops and networking opportunities.
Be part of the story!
