As the festive season arrives, it offers a wonderful moment to reflect on the year behind us and look forward to the opportunities ahead.
2024 has been a remarkable year of achievements for Future Food Systems. We celebrated the successful launch of the Sustainable Innovative Food Technologies (SIFT) Facility in WA back in February. Three impactful projects were completed, 14 exciting new projects commenced, and the first of many Coffs Agrifood Living Lab (CALL) workshops kicked off in January. We also proudly marked the graduation of three PhD students who have made significant contributions to our mission.
Looking to 2025, we are thrilled to enter the sixth year of operation. One of the early highlights will be our For Food’s Sake event in Coffs Harbour this February—an exciting opportunity to connect, innovate, and envision the future of sustainable food systems together. Tickets are selling fast, so it’s best to get in quick. Registrations can be made here.
I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all our Partners, Program Leads, Project Leaders, PhD students, and the dedicated FFS team. Your hard work and commitment have been instrumental in shaping a more resilient and sustainable future for Australia’s food systems.
Wishing you and your loved ones a joyful festive season and a fantastic start to the New Year. Please stay safe and enjoy a well-deserved break.
Warm regards,
Dr James Krahe
Future Food Systems CEO
