Food security is a condition that
exists when all people, at all times,
have physical and economic access
to sufficient, safe and nutritious
food to meet their dietary needs
and food preferences for an active
and healthy life.
RD
The reasons behind this vary, but may include
a lack of transport, high density of fast food
restaurants, low density of fresh food producers,
or poor education about healthy food.
Cr Celi said that although the Mornington
Peninsula is well-known for its produce, the
Victorian Population Health Survey Report
2008 ‘indicates that 8.7% of residents in
the Mornington Peninsula experience food
insecurity as opposed to a state average of
5.6’.
“The launch of the Farm Gate Guide is another
step in improving the links between healthy
foods on offer locally, with the people of the
peninsula.
“Ensuring access to a range of healthy, local
food resources can have great positive impacts
on health and wellbeing, and focusing on
buying from local producers helps the positive
growth of the local economy.
“The shire will continue to work with farmers,
community groups, welfare organisations and
community gardeners to ensure our community

A guide to local produce
Connecting local people to local food
Mornington Peninsula Shire has launched a
new Farm Gate guide to help connect local
people with local food.
Shire Mayor Councillor Antonella Celi said
the guide has been developed as part of the
Shire’s commitment to facilitating access to
local farm gates, community gardens and
food security programs.
“People’s access to fresh, local, affordable food
is essential to good health. Food insecurity is
an issue than can affect a range of people,
for many reasons, and the Shire is committed
to working towards connecting local people to
local food.”
Lisa Gray, Shire Team Leader Health
and Wellbeing, said that food insecurity
describes the inadequate access, supply or
inappropriate use of nutritious and healthy
food.
“On a ground level this means that people who
live with food insecurity are people that are
restricted to easy access of affordable, healthy
food and sometimes go without any food at all.

can access fresh, healthy and affordable food
year-round,” she said.
A food security booklet, action plan and
strategy are currently in development by the
shire, and the Shire is working on projects
to better connect disadvantaged people to
local produce.
The Farm Gate Guide is available from
local council offices, community centres
and neighbourhood houses, and can be
downloaded from the Shire website at
