Infographic: Roadmap for a resilient and sustainable Melbourne foodbowl
This Foodprint Melbourne infographic shows the key elements needed to achieve a resilient and sustainable Melbourne foodbowl.
Planning for a resilient and sustainable city foodbowl requires an integrated policy approach that involves all relevant policy portfolios, including land use planning, agriculture, economic development, water, waste and energy.
The findings of this project show clearly that protecting Melbourne’s foodbowl is about much more than preserving farmland. If the land is to be actively farmed, policies must be implemented to promote the viability of farming in the region and to ensure that farmers have access to water. For the long term resilience and sustainability of Melbourne’s foodbowl, it is also important that farmers use sustainable approaches to farming and can access nutrients from city waste streams.
