Please research to answer the following questions in detail:

To answer these questions, you should:

– Research organisations, stakeholders that might be interested
– Research what’s the local food system in Brimbank like:
+ The location of healthy food and fresh produce outlets including greengrocers, bakeries, butchers, supermarkets, delis;
+ Food distribution programs (e.g. fruit and veg box schemes, fresh food recovery programs, farmers’ markets, farm gates)
+ Accessibility to this food supply (public transport routes, disability access, community transport options, store opening hours, etc.)
+ Community services which may support a healthy and sustainable food system – e.g. public housing estates, community health centres, neighbourhood houses/community centres, emergency food relief services)
+ Any other community food or food sustainability initiatives that you research in your chosen area (e.g. community gardens, schools with edible gardens, food swaps, food hubs, permaculture groups, sustainability activities, programs and events, composting or food waste minimisation schemes etc.)
– Research the demographics of Brimbank that would benefit from this recommendation, ….
A similar program to what I’m aiming for is OzHarvest’s NEST: but on a much smaller scale and specific to Brimbank residents.
Additional materials include:
