This discussion paper outlines the principles, priority areas and whole-of-system considerations to shape the scope of Feeding Australia: National Food Security Strategy. Key priorities outlined in the paper include resilient supply chains, productivity, innovation and economic growth and competition. While Australia has a world class food system, it cannot afford to be complacent.

This report calls for coordinated, targeted government intervention from industrial economies across the Asia-Pacific to address unpriced emissions in the production of fossil fuel-intensive commodity processing. Recommended measures include an Asian Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM).

This report helps to build an evidence base for how Australia's food system could evolve, highlighting gaps and biases in reporting, and developing practical strategies for overcoming these. It recommends a more holistic view, taking into account a balanced set of economic, sustainability, equity and health outcomes.

This report examines how countries can navigate risks through agile, adaptable and aligned supply chains.

The report makes recommendations for how governments can manage risk and promote resilient supply chains.

This paper examines the rapid rise, and subsequent rapid decline, in labour productivity over the COVID-19 pandemic. It finds Australia’s productivity performance during the pandemic presents no clear long-term implications. This further emphasises the need to address Australia’s long-run productivity problem.
