Growcom has called for a national food security policy in the light of the release of the 2010 Intergenerational Report which predicts an increase in Australia’s population to more than 36 million by 2050.
Executive Officer, Alex Livingstone said “It is ironic that the report mentions the Government’s commitment to investing in an improved hospital and health system, while ignoring investment in the cheapest form of improving overall health of the population – access to a healthy diet.” (Nth Qld Register, 25 February 2010)
