This week we learn about the People’s Food Plan for Australia; we visit with Nick Rose, the National Coordinator of the Australian Food Sovereignty Alliance.
In sharp contrast to the Food Plan produced by the Australian federal government, the People’s Food Plan reflects the views, concerns of food consumers, family farmers, big and small retailers, restauranteurs, and environmentalists.

Nick is planning a trip to the US this summer. There’s a remote chance his travels might include a stay in the lodge here at Longleaf Breeze. As his plans firm up, and as he shares them with us, we’ll post them here.
