About Rosie

Rosie is an urban and regional planner by profession who has worked at each level of Government in Australia. She wants to see government policies for sustainable agriculture and food production accompany all growth plans for towns and cities. “The outward spread of Melbourne is transforming some of our richest farmland into roads and houses, making us all more reliant on imported and often inferior quality food. A renewed focus on sustaining Australian farms and agricultural and horticultural productivity is needed.”
