This year Nutrition Australia is shining a light on the following key themes:

  • Positive Food Experiences for Children & Young People - Safe, strengths‑based nutrition messaging; enjoyable and inclusive food experiences.
  • Food & Nutrition Security & Equity - Acknowledging the rising rates of food insecurity across Australia and the need for fair access to nutritious, culturally appropriate food.
  • Mental Wellbeing & Food - The relationship between food, mood, mental health, and emotional wellbeing.
  • Environmental Sustainability & Reducing Food Waste - Sustainable eating; reducing household and food waste in community settings.
