​Everyone in NSW should be able to access affordable and nutritious food.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, people across the state struggled to access food and concerns around food security remain.
The Committee on Environment and Planning is holding an inquiry into food production and supply in NSW. The inquiry is looking at improving food security and equitable access to food, and reducing food waste and destruction. It is also examining technologies to bring food production into cities, and ways to preserve productive land and water resources, as well as how food production impacts the environment.
The Committee will also consider indigenous food and land management practices; workforce challenges and skills development; developing the food industry as an export; and implications for quality control and labelling of processed food.
Whether you're a farmer or grower, or involved in supply chains, sales, or just a consumer, the Committee is keen to hear from you! Submissions are open until 28 February 2022 and can be made here.
