Call for national food security policy

The food rescue and food bank sector is urging the government to create a national strategy for food security. Many organizations are at risk of shutting down due to financial and operational challenges. The sector highlights the urgent need for support to sustain their operations. Charities are struggling to meet the growing demand for food assistance. Experts warn that without intervention, the situation could worsen. The call for a coordinated approach comes as resources become increasingly scarce. The government is being asked to take decisive action to protect these vital services. This issue affects millions of people relying on food assistance programs.

A national policy is critical to ensuring food security and preventing the collapse of essential aid programs.
