What if you had all those questions, that are buzzing around in your head, answered in one easy place?

The truth is, being a food citizen doesn’t have to be difficult. Once you know all of the different ways you can support a better food system, you can choose to do the things that fit in with your life.

You can begin to align your food choices with what’s important to you, rather than continuing to be influenced by how much things cost, how convenient it is and how much it’s marketed to you.

I was overwhelmed by the complexities in our global food system and how I could become more informed and engaged, but Kylie’s ‘Guide to be a Food Citizen’ really helped me to identify the areas that I could tackle easily. From reducing food waste through composting, or having conversations with stall vendors at the local farmers market, the e-book has been a great educational resource about what it means to be a food citizen and how every little bit helps to make our food system become more sustainable for future generations.

That’s why I’ve created

YOUR GUIDE TO BE A FOOD CITIZEN TOOLKIT

A step-by-step solution for the everyday person, who wants to do their bit for the planet through their food.

The outcome is a 49 page eBook which includes 16 actions to be a food citizen. This is combined with an extensive resource list, along with search engine tips on how to find things close to where you live. It also comes with additional printable resources, informative videos and a worksheet.

YOUR GUIDE TO BE A FOOD CITIZEN TOOLKIT

Isn’t just another resource on how you can eat and live more sustainably.

This extensive guide provides a no-nonsense path which highlights the reasons why we need to create a better food system, the different ways you can make a difference, and useful tools and resources to get you started quickly and easily.

“I am a busy mum of 3 boys, and when they were little I was vigilant about keeping our food clean, supporting local and growing our own food, however more recently as life has gotten busier I realised I have completely fallen off the wagon! The Food Citizen toolkit has sparked my interest once more and made me realise that now more than ever it’s important to be going back to basics in this way with my children and teaching them to value our natural resources and our farmers so that the future generations still have access to quality food. Thank you Kylie for reminding me to get back to basics and for reigniting my passion in this area!!”

I found the ‘Your Guide to be a Food Citizen’ toolkit a very helpful resource, jam-packed full of practical ideas that helped me to take steps towards making changes in our lifestyle. I knew there just had to be a better way to source our meat but had no idea CSA’s actually existed until I read this guide. Now that we’re part of a CSA, we know exactly where our meat is coming from, we know our farm uses sustainable practices and the meat they produce is outstanding in quality and taste. We’re so much happier with this choice!

So who am I to be telling you how to become a food citizen?

I’m Kylie and I’ve spent the last fifteen years on my own food citizen journey. More recently I’ve been supporting people through coaching them to make easy and sustainable changes to the way they shop, cook, eat or grow that are in alignment with their values.  

This has been propelled by doing a Masters in Food Policy, writing a unique undergraduate course in Food Citizenship, and becoming a semi-finalist in the global Food Systems Vision Prize. Over the years I’ve connected with farmers, home gardeners, community gardeners, chefs, advocates, gastronomers, composters, nutritionists, academics, Councillors, innovators and more, who are doing extraordinary things to transform the food system, and inspire me everyday to continue doing what I’m doing.
