DJAKITJUK DJANGA: NATIVE FOODS AND BOTANICALS INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT
The Federation of Victorian Traditional Owner Corporations is partnering with Agriculture Victoria to support Aboriginal-owned businesses and organisations to develop a thriving local native foods and botanicals industry.
Djakitjuk Djanga means Country’s Food in Jaara language, acknowledging our deep and everlasting connection to Country and the native foods and botanicals of the land.
Through Djakitjuk Djanga, the Federation will support and contribute to the participation and leadership of Victoria’s First Peoples in the development of a culturally authentic industry.
The program will help build on cultural knowledge and practice to help build sustainable food systems which are climate-aware, innovative, nutritious and resilient.
Traditional Owners and industry stakeholders are encouraged to contact the Federation on 0412 322 303 or jasmine.yarran@fvtoc.com.au to participate in the program or learn more.
Applications close on: Wednesday 6 May 2020.
