In the final episode of this podcast series, we reflect on the learnings gathered from our conversations with food systems experts and leaders of civic food networks, and ask how policy can help scale up fairer food systems in Australia.
In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Nora McKeon, professor at the Rome Tre University, who has worked extensively at the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation on food systems governance and rural peoples’ movements; Maggie Carter, Research Analyst at the UN Research Institute for Social Development (UNRISD); and Dr. Kiah Smith, ARC DECRA Senior Research Fellow at the University of Queensland and project leader of the Fair Food Futures Project.
Our guests explore the connections between local food justice initiatives and food policy making, both at global and national levels, and discuss different governance pathways to reconfigure food systems.
Our experts highlight the importance of establishing networks of collaboration between all stakeholders across the food system, the need to work in partnership with policy makers, and the current challenges that civic food networks face in the Australian food policy space.
The podcast concludes with reflections on the actions that listeners can pursue to actively participate and influence food policy making in Australia and globally.

In this episode inspired by the “Fair Food in the City” scenario, small-scale producers Jacki Hinchey from Blue Dog Farm, Matt Bakker and Micah Oberon from Neighbourhood Farm, and Phil Garozzo and Alice Star from Loop Growers share their first-hand experiences with recent crises, such as the 2022 floods and the COVID19 pandemic. Our guest speakers explain how their ongoing resilience was possible thanks to the social connections they built with their communities over the years, which played a key role in their recovery and adaptation processes.
Our guests share their insights on what a truly resilient food system looks like, touching on elements of hyper-localization, direct producer-consumer networks, the role of education about food system dynamics, the need for policies supporting small-scale producers, as well as the essential contribution that regenerative agriculture, permaculture, and agroecology make to agrobiodiversity and soil quality.
The conversation also brings our guests to demonstrate, from first-hand experience, how resilience is increased through alliances with a broad range of stakeholders across the food system, such as consumers, chefs, activists, academics, agri-food movements, and indigenous peoples, among others. Examples of alliances and networks such as REKO, Young Farmers Connect, and the Moreton Bay Food & Agribusiness Network are described as examples of the possibilities that alliance-building brings for more resilient, sustainable, and fair food systems in Australia.
Lastly, our guests share down-to-earth advice on how listeners can improve and grow resilience for the future.

In this episode of the Fair Food Futures podcast we begin our journey alongside leaders of civic food networks in Australia, learning from them how they uphold intersectional solidarity and care practices in their work. This episode brings together three examples of how the “Long Table” scenario identified by the Fair Food Futures project can look like in practice.
Francis Nona and Dr Preetha Thomas, from the UQ Reconciliation Garden, explain how the garden aims to promote the voices of First Nations peoples and embed indigenous food knowledges within the public and academic discourse, while providing a safe space for First Nations students and community members.
Dr Daniel Cruz from the Green Pea Community Farm talks about the community building and partnership-building strategies they employ to facilitate the empowerment of the 61 refugees of the community farm, who come from Bhutanese , Solomon Islands, and Karen backgrounds primarily.
Susannah Holmes, from Your Farm, narrates the story of how this community-based organisation succeeded in establishing a spray-free farm in the middle of a racecourse, as well as a veggie distribution network at Deagon.
Our guests speak about the deeper meanings of food (e.g.: spiritual, cultural), based on their experiences working in partnership with First Nations, grassroots, and refugee communities. They discuss the encounters with marginalisation experienced by these communities in their interaction with the food system and describe how their initiatives have promoted ways of caring between the members and supporters of these projects.
Finally, our guests reflect on the key role that intersectional strategic alliance building plays in the transformation of the food system, and share their lessons and advice to progress a fairer food future that is more inclusive.

In this second episode of the Fair Food Futures podcast, the world-famous author, filmmaker, activist, and academic Dr Raj Patel shares an overview of some of the structural problems with the global food system, in conversation with Dr Kiah Smith, ARC DECRA Senior Research Fellow at the University of Queensland.
By drawing on evidence gathered during more than 30 years researching (and fighting) the global and US food systems, Raj shares his insights about the history and potential of food justice as a vehicle to build more sustainable and fair food systems at various levels. Kiah talks about the concept of food justice from the Australian perspective, delving deeper into the diversity of fair food experiments already taking place at a national level, and describing the key pathways that the Fair Food Futures Project identified to build food justice in Australia.
The conversation touches on the interplay between capitalism, food justice, resistance, and transformative social change in the food system, from a political economy perspective and a social justice standpoint, based on the experiences of real-life movements currently transforming food systems, both globally and in Australia.

It's one of the largest television audiences every year for a sporting event. But it's also the pinnacle for marketing with some viewers tuning in just to watch the ads. Which is why slots during the Super Bowl can command up to $5m a pop. In our opening event of the year, we look to uncover some of the secrets to those campaigns and look for what lessons can be taken and applied to everyday marketing.
