About us

Our research team works in partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and is led by their vision to achieve equity in the remote food system and improved nutrition outcomes through capacity strengthening approaches. We believe that equitable access to good quality, nutritious and culturally appropriate food is a human right, as is the right to self-determination. We strive to strengthen access to evidence for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leaders to inform the decisions being made for the health of their communities and advocacy for effective government policy.

The Remote Food Systems Program sits within the Public Health Nutrition research theme in the Department of Nutrition, Dietetics and Food.
