Local Food Connections
Local Food Connections is a radio program on 3CR on Sundays, 10-10.30am. The interviewers are Ann Stanley and Amy Aednit Ciara.

It includes interviews with local food producers, backyard growers and urban farmers, and information about food justice organisations, food swaps, community gardens, farmers markets, sustainability events and food rescue in the Melbourne region.
