It is with great excitement that we share our short documentary on Well Fed: A Student Food Project. Current research indicates that across Australia, up to 53% of tertiary and vocational students are food insecure. Food insecure students experience greater hurdles to academic achievement, as well as isolation due to more limited social interactions and a range of mental and physical health problems. Well Fed: A Student Food Project is about more than “food relief”, it’s about teaching good-life skills through food. Well Fed breaks down barriers preventing disadvantaged students from successfully completing their studies through a unique and dignified model to promote food security and wellbeing. This is Well Fed! A film by Marcelo Paternoster Coordinated by Patrick McMillin and Savannah Supski Graphic design by Luke Pringipas Funded by City of Melbourne and Victorian Health Promotion Foundation (VicHealth).
