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
