Sunraysia Local Food Movement

In 2016 Mildura community members kicked off a series of conversations – talking circles – that birthed key local food movement projects including Food Next Door Co-op and Out of the Box Sunraysia.

From here the Sunraysia Local Food Movement continued to be the key drivers and volunteers behind advocacy work in our region. In 2022 Regenerative Communities initiated a Victorian Government grant through Rhae’s involvement in the ADAPT Loddon Mallee Climate Change Leadership Program.

These funds were used to further enhance the work of the Sunraysia Local Food Movement. Events included a packed farm tour at Ben’s Bona Fide Food, recipe tastings and sharing with the delightful Elise Pulbrook, and a conversation about food relief, and mentorship for young farmers. We even created a Zine of our locals favourite recipes!
