We build healthy & sustainable food systems
The think & do network of citizen farmers, researchers, policy experts and community connectors on a mission to transform food.
Sowing the seeds of change
We support communities and organisations with the knowledge, tools and connections they need to become agents of food system transformation.
This is a call for political courage and action on the cost of living crisis and our broken food system. No more band-aids or quick fixes. The hard work to reform food in Australia must start.
It’s time to #VoteforFood!

Let’s Dig In – to Soils!
On December 5th it is international Soils day. As part of Sustain’s Australian Food Network platform, we are celebrating all things soil for the entire month!

Following the success of Freya’s newly launched podcast, SOILS, we’re honing in on soil — but through a perspective you might not expect.
