Building the resilience of Melbourne's food system
This new map, released in 2022, can help policy makers and other stakeholders identify vulnerabilities in Melbourne’s food system to shocks and stress, so they can take action to strengthen resilience.
The Foodprint Melbourne project has developed an online GIS map that draws together data to help stakeholders understand what grows where in Melbourne's foodbowl and its distinctive characteristics.
The GIS map shows information about food production around Melbourne, major routes of food transportation, the locations of food distribution warehouses, and data on food insecurity and disadvantage across Victoria. The maps depicts geographic areas that are vulnerable to climate hazards such as fire and flood, and long term climate trends on temperature, rainfall and forest fire danger.
The resource has been designed to help policy makers and other stakeholders make decisions to strengthen the resilience of the food system.
