Recently there has been dramatic increased interest in animals, insects and plants traditionally used as food by Aboriginal people, commonly known as bushfoods.
The Australian bushfoods industry is built on the Indigenous Ecological Knowledge of First Nations people however, it is estimated that Aboriginal businesses account for less than 15% of the industry.
The Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD), in partnership with Outback Academy Australia, is supporting and celebrating Aboriginal businesses in the bushfoods industry, and launching Setting up for success: Bushfoods, and Protection of Indigenous Ecological Knowledge for Bushfood Businesses guides.
Two events have been developed for Aboriginal individuals and businesses currently in or interested in becoming a part of the bushfoods industry. Other industry stakeholders are also welcome. Day 1 will feature industry presentations, a tour and a sundowner. Day 2 will feature bushfoods product and business planing workshops for Aboriginal businesses.
