Food Resilience Vision
In 2022 residents and growers in the Bellingen Shire came together to develop a Food Resilience Vision. The vision acts as a guide to motivate and empower community members to get involved in a variety of local food system activities that will contribute to building local food resilience.
Eight food resilience themes are identified in the vision. The:
- urgency of climate change
- need to strengthen the local food system
- reasons for building a circular food economy
- desire to embrace regenerative farming practices
- importance of incorporating Gumbaynggirr food values into the local food system
- responsibility for ensuring that all local people have food security
- importance of community education, and
- need to establish and develop some coordinated and collaborative local food networks.
