Let’s inspire a connected and nourished Australia this National Nutrition Week.
Food nourishes people socially, culturally, emotionally and physically and serves as a universal language that unites people by creating a sense of belonging and community.
Professor Gina Trapp from Edith Cowan University (ECU) received a 2023 NHMRC Ideas Grant to pioneer a national ‘Food Atlas’ that will map, measure and monitor food access across Australia.
The atlas will be able to identify areas with limited healthy food availability or an abundance of unhealthy options. Intelligence received from the atlas will inform food and nutrition policies, support planning decisions, and guide future policy directions to promote equitable, health promoting communities.
