The Australian Food Network

Let’s transform food. Together.

This is where Australia’s food system change-makers gather. 


This is a place to grow as a food-system changemaker. A place to connect with learners, thinkers and doers from across the food system. A place for sharing knowledge and resources, motivating each other and celebrating every inch of progress we make together.

Welcome.

 


Why join?


Connect daily and learn from purpose-driven people across the food system. Farmers, chefs, educators, policymakers, community leaders and others gather here. 

Access an ever-growing resource library curated by and for food system builders, including how-to guides, food system strategies, reports, pitch deck templates, useful infographics and more.

Develop the skills to make impact in our Skill of the Month collective learning sessions. Together, we’ll practice skills like cultivating hope, pitching for funding, soft-skills for building trust and genuine partnership with First Nations.

Participate in dozens of real-time, movement building conversations in intentional spaces like Wins of the Weeks, Meet the Movement, Book Club, Learner’s Corner and more.  

Start or join a Community of Action – a private space on the network for your team and stakeholders to gather.

Receive early-bird invitations and discounts to Sustain events & conferences

Co-design where this community goes next. It’s yours after all.
