Food Next Door Co-op
Jade BENHAM (Mildura) (13:07): Last week I had the pleasure of attending a book launch for the Food Next Door Co-op at Arts Mildura. We Are Home is a beautiful representation of so many things – food in its purest form, community and finding a home in a world away from the home you know – and it is beautifully told in English, Swahili and Kirundi, with magnificent colourful illustrations. The project is supported by VicHealth’s future healthy food hub, and it was terrific to have some of the team there. Food Next Door do amazing things by matching under-utilised farmland with farmers to relieve some of the distress that might be suffered by newly arrived migrants and refugee groups, and they are doing exceptional work. I want to thank the executive officer Shingi for the tour of the farm early this year and the invite to the book launch.
