Policy coherence analysis

Food policy spans all the processes of producing and distributing foods, from the natural resources like water and soils that support agricultural production, through the manufacturing and distribution of food to consumption and its impacts on nutrition and human health. Meeting our growing aspirations of the food system requires policies that are more connected and aligned.

Analysing for policy coherence is about understanding how different approaches reinforce of contradict each other in meeting societal aspirations.

Food System Horizons is a collaborative initiative and is funded by The University of Queensland and CSIRO. It is using science to help Australians understand the food system, their roles in it, and who they need to work with to develop a more sustainable, nutritious and equitable food system.
