    Episode 2 - Food for thought: the research that’s tackling food insecurity in remote communities

    Many Australians are feeling the impact of the cost-of-living pressures today, however this is something that has long been felt by Indigenous Australians in remote communities who regularly juggle the cost of food along with power and other essential items.

    In today’s episode, host Dr Amalie Dyda talks with UQ School of Public Health’s Dr Megan Ferguson and Caroline Deen, a proud Kamilaroi dietitian from Apunipima Cape York Health Council, about their community-informed research and how they aim to transfer tailored suggestions solutions from ten remote communities - based on lived experiences - into government policies.
