The AFSA Legal Defence Fund (LDF) is ably supported by AFSA legal advisor, Airlie Morris. The LDF is proud to provide the following services to support the fight for fair food and protect the rights of small-scale farmers:
LDF Advisory
Do you require assistance navigating the legal requirements of producing or accessing small-scale and artisanal foods?
Do you have a query relating to a planning permit or with your local council?
Do you wish to share an issue for small-scale farmers with the Legal Defence Fund?
All farmers, artisanal producers and members of the broader community are welcome to contact Airlie for advice or queries at legal@afsa.org.au.
The LDF Information Repository
AFSA is developing a knowledge and information repository consisting of legal research and advice obtained for AFSA members, which will benefit AFSA members and provide guidance in relation to, including but not limited to, relevant food safety standards and legal requirements for supply of small-scale farm produce and artisan food. Watch this space for more information coming soon.
If you wish to make a donation to the LDF to enable this critical work to continue, email us on admin@afsa.org.au.
