Rethinking food systems for urban futures]]> In this thought-provoking conversation, as part of the Edible Urban Futures exhibition, our panel explores why promising solutions to urban food insecurity remain underutilised in Australia and what it will take to accelerate their adoption. Featuring leading voices in urban agriculture, design, and policy, the panel challenges conventional food systems and highlight innovative global approaches that could reshape how our cities produce and distribute food.

Through this discussion, we uncover the opportunities and obstacles facing urban food solutions, from rooftop gardens to community-led farming initiatives. Expect fresh insights, real-world case studies, and bold ideas for reimagining food resilience in our cities.

The Hon. Jaala Pulford, Vice Chancellor’s Fellow, University of Melbourne (Moderator)
