Labor is promising a national food security strategy – but there’s no mention of Australians who are going hungry

"Australia’s food security is on the political agenda, with Labor flagging a
new national strategy if it is re-elected for a second term.

“Feeding Australia” would build-in ways to make the agricultural sector more
resilient. This industry focus is important, but it is only part of what the
plan needs to achieve. Food security is about more than just food production
and supply chains.

We also need the strategy to deal with chronic long-term food insecurity, which
is defined by the United Nations as a lack of consistent access to adequate,
safe and nutritious food.

According to food relief charity Foodbank, too many Australians simply don’t
have enough to eat because of ongoing poverty and the cost-of-living crisis."
