Advocacy update:
Shifting the dial on
vegetable consumption

The Fruit & Vegetable Consortium (FVC) has launched a landmark new report that explores what is needed to lift Australia’s declining vegetable consumption, against a backdrop of COVID-19 and ongoing disruption from rising costs of living and other external factors.

Entitled ‘Shifting the dial on vegetable consumption — Rebuilding healthy families in a COVID-19 affected and disrupted Australia’ the report was developed by KPMG and co-sponsored by Medibank Private, Perfection Fresh, Stop Food Waste Australia and Health & Wellbeing Queensland.

The report recommends:

  • a national strategy to increase vegetable consumption

  • industry integration

  • programs focus on the issue of ‘affordability’

  • a strategy that enables sustained national behaviour change

The report will be distributed to key stakeholders, including government and major political parties and peak bodies in the coming months.
