Abstract
Local governments have a governance responsibility to identify local solutions that support individual, household and community food choices that strengthen the health and wellbeing of communities. Social cooperation in communities is essential to ensure sustainability of local food supplies. Local governments are key facilitators of health and wellbeing, yet the need to build understanding and capacity around local food security barriers and opportunities is only starting to emerge.
