OUR MISSION
Australia’s Right to Food Coalition works to improve public policy to ensure the right to food for all.

We do this by working in the following areas:

Undertaking advocacy on right to food related issues as identified by Coalition members.
Communicating and educating on best practice research and activities that promote the right to food in Australia and beyond.
