Jen Rae is on the Moreland Food Leadership Action Group (FLAG) in 2022. The mobilisation of FLAG is one of the recommendations of the Moreland Community Food Hub Feasibility study which Council adopted in May 2021, conducted by the Open Food Network + Fair Share Fare.

The FLAG will provide a platform to drive food system change and support a Collective Impact approach to increasing food security in Moreland.

FLAG members will be working with dedicated and passionate people to provide socially and culturally inclusive support for people experiencing food insecurity. You will contribute to community-led decision making to establish a Community Food Hub model and Collective Impact Measurement Framework that responds to the Moreland context.

Benefits of the structured collaboration supported by the FLAG include:

• Decisions / actions based on a deeper understanding of the needs across our diverse community

• Shared / more efficient use of resources and less double up of food security effort

• Strengthened food security network

• Reduced data collection / reporting burden on individual stakeholders AND

• More comprehensive and consistent evidence of the benefit of Community Food Hub activities, attracting greater support and funding
