Can't eat your house -- development threatens food bowl
Sustainable land-use issues arising from the need for economic development and safeguarding fertile food-producing land in the Sydney Basin are on the increase.

The Sydney Food Fairness Alliance organised this panel and Q&A as part of Crave Sydney International Food Festival. Western Sydney is set to experience rapid urbanisation over the next 30 years but should this be at the expense of providing equitably priced fresh produce for the region as well as for Greater Sydney? Local food production reduces food miles, keeps costs down and helps ensure our future food security.

Panellists include:
Costa Georgiadis of SBS TV's Costa's Garden Odyssey
Ian Sinclair, a planner with a focus on food and agriculture
Professor Phillip O'Neill of the Urban Research Centre
Councillor Alison McLaren, president of the Western Sydney Regional Organisation of Councils (WSROC)
NSW Farmers' Association President Fiona Simson
