Student Research
Over 10 years the staff and partners of the OEPCP have supported students from a range of tertiary institutions, to undertake health promoting nutrition research, primarily in Knox, Maroondah and Yarra Ranges but also extending across the broader eastern metropolitan region.
- The research has been broad ranging and includes:
- Food Insecurity
- Food sensitive urban planning and design
- Local food systems
- Regional food principles
- Emergency Food Relief: Enhancing nutritious options
- Strategic Local Food Partnerships
- Taking a collective Impact Approach: Water the Drink of Choice
