We are delighted to announce an exciting new partnership agreement between Baptist Mission Australia and Food Plants International.

This collaboration deeply enriches our shared mission and directly supports two of our four key Christ-centred causes: Local Community Transformation and Innovative Partnerships. Food Plants International’s expertise is in empowering communities to utilise local food plant resources for improved nutrition, health and sustainable agriculture. This aligns perfectly with our commitment to integral mission and holistic transformation in diverse global contexts.

On their website you can see their incredible database as well as articles and other resources that explain their mission and vision… you will discover what a blessing it is for us to collaborate with such a world-class outfit. We hope each of our intercultural teams might find a way to use their treasure-trove of resources to bless neighbours.

Through this partnership, our intercultural teams and local partners will receive cutting edge resources and guidance – enabling vital work in public health, nutrition, community engagement and faith-centred sustainable development. This partnership empowers both organisations to explore creative ways of strengthening food security, enhancing creation care and fostering innovative, faith-filled relationships, particularly among the most vulnerable.

We are grateful to the Food Plants International team and their strong supporters in Tasmanian Baptist Churches and beyond. Together, in the spirit of community transformation and innovative partnership, we look forward to amplifying local leadership and holistic discipleship, helping communities experience and express the hope of Jesus in new, tangible ways.
