Trade Minister Don Farrell spruiks a new national food strategy “Feeding Australia” during The Australian’s Global Food Forum.

Sky News is taken into IFDA’s member Galipo’s facility, to showcase to the government and the rest of the world the importance of food distribution.

Labor’s new food security plan must be “backed by action” to ­urgently address critical infrastructure failings, as well as fuel, pesticide and fertiliser supply risks, farming groups and ­experts have warned.

The food sector has united to ­accuse the Albanese government of failing to act on rising prices ­despite a growing number of working Australians going hungry, warning that customers are paying more at shopping centres and restaurants because of high energy prices, Labor’s workplace relations agenda and a lack of ­productivity-enhancing reforms.

Members of Australia’s largest food distributor have slammed the Albanese government for “putting their eggs in one basket”.

Thank you ACCI and COSBOA for backing IFDA’s call for a re-think on the governments 82 percent renewable target by 2030.

Those in the food sector, including independent food distributors, are being significantly impacted by soaring energy prices
