Just published! Creating Healthier Remote Food Retail Stores, Together

In remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, local stores are central to food access—and community health. In a recent collaboration between the Monash University Remote Food Systems Team, nutrition professionals and remote community retail stores, the Store Scout App was used to support retailers in adopting best-practice strategies for healthier food environments.

🛒 The Store Scout App helps assess store practices, provides real-time feedback, and supports co-designed improvements using the 4Ps of marketing: Product, Placement, Price, and Promotion.

📈 Results from 12 communities showed improved store practices and stronger partnerships between health professionals and retailers. This work highlights the power of practical tools like the Store Scout App to support meaningful, community-led change—one shelf at a time.

📢New paper!

Remote food systems are failing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander mothers and children in their right to adequate food. Despite this, families protect diet quality. Traditional food systems must be part of the solution.
