Webinar 3 Shelf Stable Series: Resilience in the Regions – Decentralised Manufacturing & Remote Access of nutritious food

Webinar 3: Resilience in the Regions – Decentralised Manufacturing & Remote Access of nutritious food

Theme: Building regional capacity, Indigenous participation, and economic resilience through shelf-stable food manufacturing

How can we strengthen our regions by rethinking where and how food is made? This session will explore how shelf-stable food innovation can empower remote and regional communities through decentralised processing, local value-adding, and Indigenous business participation. From modular manufacturing to community-owned infrastructure, we’ll ask: what already exists, what’s missing, and what’s possible? With the right models, shelf-stable production can reduce freight costs, improve nutrition access, and create meaningful jobs close to where food is grown. This conversation is about building resilience not just in the supply chain – but in communities themselves.
