Local and Sustainable Food

Local and Sustainable Food is a Sustainability Pillar in our Sustainability Strategy 2021 - 2031. The relevant key principle is: 'A sustainable food system that focuses on the production, processing, distribution and disposal of health food to the community in ways that contribute to the health of the local economy'.  Our objectives related to this pillar are:

  • Enable a local circular economy
  • Support businesses seeking to develop food production facilities
  • Support sustainable farming practices
  • Support programs for local sustainable food innovations
