... peak horticulture body growcom has called for the urgent integration of food policy and programs by the federal government to plan for future food security ... chief executive officer alex livingstone said the call follows the release of several federal government reports in recent days, which he said indicate an insular and complacent approach to national food security ... livingstone said the government continued to take a ‘she’ll be right’ approach to food policy issues, spruiking figures showing that australia produces significantly more food than we consume at a time when the world bank is warning of increasing global instability with food prices increasing 36 per cent in the past year and 44 million people forced into poverty ... “in abare’s report, global food security: facts, issues and implications released this week, the agency somewhat arrogantly states that the high income levels of most australians ensures our capacity to purchase the food we need, whether imported or domestically produced ... the agency concludes that as a consequence, australia’s food security would not be threatened by any diminution of food self sufficiency that might occur with increased imports in the future,” said livingstone ... it also ignores reports showing sections of the community without the resources to access fresh healthy food and growing demands for charities such as foodbank to fill the breach ... “this head in the sand approach is echoed in the report sustainable australia – sustainable communities - a sustainable population strategy for australia, launched by former agriculture minister tony burke last week, which complacently claims australia is ‘sheltered from immediate concerns about food shortages because we produce significantly more food than we consume, exporting more than half of our food production while ensuring that around 98 per cent of the fresh produce sold in supermarkets is grown and supplied domestically ... ’ “in sharp contract to this conclusion comes the report victorian food supply scenarios: impacts on availability of a nutritious diet, written by researchers from the victorian eco-innovation lab, university of melbourne, csiro and deakin university which concludes that australia is not producing enough healthy food to meet the nutritional requirements of the population – and that in a future constrained by high population growth, peak oil and fierce competition for land and water resources, there’s an urgent need to make smarter decisions to assure a nutritious food supply

... corporate nutritionist kate cook has attacked the government’s responsibility deal for a “one-dimensional approach” to calorie labelling on food that risks damaging sales of foods such as salmon and endangering public health ... but cook (who works with a number of major food brands) told foodmanufacture ... uk that she takes issue with another facet of the plan that requires signatories, including major food manufacturers and retailers, to include prominent calorie labelling on all food consumed in ‘out of home’ settings ... salmon junk food cook said that a disproportionate emphasis upon calorie counting could impact upon consumers’ ability to make “good overall choices for their dietary health”, with the measure potentially having the opposite effect to that desired by government ... one foodstuff cook thinks could suffer when more prominent calorie labelling comes into force is salmon, which according to non-profit scientific body the european food information council (eufic) contains around 10% fat, but risks being ranked alongside low quality junk food if one only counts calories ... “but if you choose salmon (which is also high in beneficial omega-3s and protein) potatoes and vegetables then it is a healthy choice
