The Queensland Future Conversations, which brings together parliamentarians and academics, took on food security this morning with @TropCrops talking us through opportunities to increase legume production and consumption and @uqkiahsmith highlighting community-based food systems

🐄🐖🐓What could healthy and sustainable production and consumption of meat look like in Australia? We consider some policy options - as well as the political dimensions - in this review just published. Full article here: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Excellent presso this morning from Paul Perovic @notimetowaste00 about food waste policy in Australia #iucnael22

@JLacyNichols @prof_christine @kesievert 'Novel Meat Ladies of Aus' - Love it!!!

#FoodGovernance2021 Lively chat with the Novel Meat Ladies of Aus: Do APs 'disrupt' food systems dynamics? (Prob not, rather reinforce power disparities). Q: are fermentation/cell-based 'meats' UPFs? Q: what if APs are produced by community-owned coops? #academiclife

#FoodGovernance2021 Keynote on food governance, power and inclusion ends on a passionate point about inclusion & exclusion: Powerful colonizers (e.g. multinationals) don't need a seat - they will permeate anyways. Rather, we must make space for indigenous voices & civil society.

@luke_spajic @PhilBakerNZ @ceburgaz @marghe_melillo @CPC_usyd @georgeinstitute It was a great presso! Wish there was more time to unpack findings further :)

Presenting my thesis research about the politics of Australia's food system at the 2021 Global Food Governance conference this morning. I'll be focusing on key actors' perspectives on healthy and sustainable diets, particularly regarding meat consumption law-events.sydney.edu.au/events/global-…

Is meat reduction part of the vegan agenda? Are all types of meat production problematic? Are novel proteins the 'big' solution? My new paper explores how the narrative of meat reduction is framed in the media. Hint? It's oversimplified + polarising!🌗But the bigger q is why?

#Plantbasedfoods are a "market trend", but products mimicking #meat can be highly processed and aimed more at leveraging the status of meat. @2serbusiness discusses what's sustainable, or not, with @UTSMarketing's Natalina Zlatevska and QUT's @Hopenjohnson bddy.me/3iWHzeN

@DrBrodieEvans and I have a new article out with the support of @CrimeJusticeQUT 'Contesting and reinforcing the future of ‘meat’ through problematization: Analyzing the discourses in regulatory debates around animal cell-cultured meat' …cedirect-com.ezp01.library.qut.edu.au/science/articl…
