Victoria's food supply at risk due to unchecked urban sprawl and lack of overarching strategy.

Victoria's food supply is at risk due to unchecked urban sprawl, resulting in land-use competition, fractured planning decisions, and a lack of an overarching strategy to develop and feed the state. Incremental planning decisions at different government levels are compromising agricultural potential and degrading land, while Melbourne's population is expected to grow from 5 million to 9 million by 2050.
