Big Flaw with Australia’s $800bn Food System
- The CSIRO released the Food System Horizons report in 2025, showing Australia's $800 billion food system feeds nearly 100 million people worldwide but faces significant challenges.
- This report follows a fragmented policy background where food-related issues are spread across agriculture, health, environment, and social services portfolios, limiting long-term planning and coordination.
- Key findings identify hidden costs of up to $274 billion annually due to health costs from diet-related diseases like diabetes and environmental impacts such as soil degradation and greenhouse gas emissions.

- The report implies that improving reporting and national coordination could guide actions toward a sustainable, equitable food system serving all Australians while addressing economic, health, and environmental challenges.
