SA — COMMUNITY FOOD NETWORK

Neighbours feeding neighbours
across South Australia.

Connecting communities facing cost-of-living pressure, drought, and heatwave risk across SA.

Drought, heat, and distance.

South Australia faces a triple pressure: prolonged drought in the state's north and west, extreme heatwaves that strain households, and remote communities cut off by distance. Port Augusta and Coober Pedy are food distribution hubs for vast inland regions. Tourists on the Nullarbor and Oodnadatta Track are often isolated with little warning.
