AFSA is a non profit organisation working for Food Sovereignty for All Australians. Help us continue the development of the Peoples' Food Plan by donating today. AFSA is a group of dedicated volunteers that run on active optimism and food that we fight for, with one part-time paid General Coordinator. Donations will go toward the final production of the Plan, payment for First Peoples' contributions and to getting the revised Peoples' Food Plan into the hands of community organisations and Governments across Australia. Every little bit counts! Donations are not tax deductible. -
The time to defend the growing movement of small-scale food producers has come.
Despite growing concerns about the nutrition, safety, and ethics of the food we eat, some regulators are making it harder for Australian small-scale farmers to produce ethical, ecologically-sound, nutritious, and delicious food for their communities. The issues include: communities who want access to raw milk from local dairies, farms doing on-farm processing facing unfair and inconsistent regulation of their facilities, and many others grappling with outdated and illogical definitions of ‘intensive’ and ‘extensive’ livestock in local planning schemes that see a farm with a few hundred chickens out on the paddocks subjected to the same requirements as one with 10,000 birds in sheds. Donations are not tax deductible.
The Australian Food Sovereignty Alliance (AFSA) is a farmer-led civil society organisation of people working together towards socially-just and ecologically-sound food and agriculture systems that foster the democratic participation of Indigenous Peoples, smallholders, and local communities in decision making processes.
