This year, we set up the project, established the steering committee, held two advisory meetings, and hired two research assistants. Next, we focused on conducting the policy analysis (Part 1). As part of this process, we identified the principles of a healthy, sustainable and equitable food system based on international reports; finalised our framework of recommendations to code policy documents; tested our methods by double-checking results for the City of Melbourne with council officers; and started to analyse council policies all across Victoria and NSW. Finally, in collaboration with the City of Melbourne’s Health and Wellbeing Branch, we developed an online survey on food system policies and projects, which will be sent to Councils in NSW and Victoria at the end of 2020 and early 2021.
