Advocacy update:
Shifting the dial on
vegetable consumption
The Fruit & Vegetable Consortium (FVC) has launched a landmark new report that explores what is needed to lift Australia’s declining vegetable consumption, against a backdrop of COVID-19 and ongoing disruption from rising costs of living and other external factors.
Entitled ‘Shifting the dial on vegetable consumption — Rebuilding healthy families in a COVID-19 affected and disrupted Australia’ the report was developed by KPMG and co-sponsored by Medibank Private, Perfection Fresh, Stop Food Waste Australia and Health & Wellbeing Queensland.
The report recommends:
a national strategy to increase vegetable consumption
industry integration
programs focus on the issue of ‘affordability’
a strategy that enables sustained national behaviour change
The report will be distributed to key stakeholders, including government and major political parties and peak bodies in the coming months.
