Navigating the way to food security in Darebin
25 September 2024
The food security situation in Darebin is alarming, as evidenced by multiple surveys and assessments.
According to the Darebin City Council’s 2022 Reservoir East / Preston East Neighbourhood Indicators Survey, nine percent of respondents reported instances where their households ran out of food and couldn’t afford to buy more, highlighting a significant level of food insecurity in the area.
The work discussed in this report contributes to Your Community Health’s 2024 health promotion work in the Healthy Eating priority area. The aim of this project is to pinpoint gaps in food security within Darebin and formulate recommendations to inform the development of future food access initiatives.
