Healthy Food Systems

Healthy Food Systems is a Loddon Mallee Public Health Unit (LMPHU) priority for 2023-2025. Healthy Food Systems was identified as a priority based on the available data on rising diet related chronic disease rates, impact of increasing costs of living, accessibility of fresh locally produced foods, potential opportunities for climate change action and feedback from local services. The LMPHU aims to enhance and strengthen the current Loddon Mallee food system to provide healthy, equitable, sustainable and culturally appropriate food for all, by improving access to safe and locally produced food, creating a healthy food environment to support people to make healthy choices and increasing food security for those that experience systemic disadvantage.
