Flip the Food Bowl

Reimagining the food system in Sunraysia
Film, panel discussion and dinner
Friday 17 July 2025

Flip the food bowl is a documentary that investigates existing arrangements for growing and marketing fruit
and vegetables. It shines a light on creative initiatives
by growers and activists to flip dominant export supply chains, so that people can access fresh food grown in
​their neighbourhoods.
