Climate Goals & Targets

Environmental Challenges

• Inadequate access to affordable, nutritious food for disadvantaged groups, particularly Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in rural and remote areas.
• Inadequate supply of food in remote areas due to logistical challenges and low demand.
• Affordability of food, especially healthy food, is lower in rural and remote areas.
• Inappropriate use of food due to limited food knowledge, storage, and cooking facilities.
• Trade policies may impact domestic food supply.
• Incomplete and under-sampled data on food security in remote communities.

Mitigation Strategies

• National Strategy for Food Security in Remote Indigenous Communities (partially implemented).
• Strengthening Remote Stores Grants in the Northern Territory.
• Infrastructure projects, including the construction of new stores.
• National Healthy Eating Action Plan for remote Indigenous communities.
• Community-based initiatives such as community gardens and kitchens.
• Income management programs (with mixed results).
