Improving food security and affordability in Australia

Professor Amanda Lee speaks about the need to reduce unhealthy discretionary foods and drinks which provide more than 35% of our current energy intake, and cost families around 58% of their food budget.

This is the third masterclass in the PreventionWorksLIVE series. Professor Amanda Lee says, “Our diet is not equitable. Many groups, including low socioeconomic households and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, suffer a disproportionate burden of diet-related disease equivalent to some of the poorest countries in the world.”

About #PreventionWorksLIVE

In 2021, the Prevention Centre delivered a series of five masterclasses with Australia’s leading innovators on creating a healthier Australia. The #PreventionWorksLIVE series examined how change-makers have achieved real impact for the health and wellbeing of communities.
