Article Synopsis
- The research investigates how external shocks (like extreme weather, wars, and pandemics) impact hospital food systems and aims to enhance food supply security by sourcing ingredients locally.
- The study is observational and focuses on a large healthcare organization in Queensland, Australia, analyzing the country of origin for food items purchased over a year.
- Results show that while 53% of the food budget was spent on Australian products, the procurement of local (Queensland-grown) fresh fruits, vegetables, and meats was lower, highlighting areas for improvement in local sourcing strategies.
