Values-based food procurement models: benefits & challenges

Leah Galvin is a public health nutritionist with a background in research/evaluation, stakeholder engagement, food systems, social policy and regional and community development. Leah has recently returned from a Churchill Fellowship where she visited the USA, Canada, England, Denmark, Sweden and Finland. The focus of her trip was to explore models and approaches to increase local food procurement by institutions including hospitals, aged care, schools, prisons and meals programs such as Meals on Wheels.

Join to hear Leah’s insights and findings, plus recommendations on how we can accelerate the conversation and action to embed values-based food procurement in public institutions across Australia.

Leah’s short presentation will be followed by a Q & A with Alfred Deakin Professor Anna Peeters, also a Churchill Fellow, and Director of the Nourish Network and Institute for Health Transformation at Deakin University. Then there will be time for webinar participants to ask questions.
