In Australia, acute shocks such as the COVID\u201119 pandemic, floods and bushfires, alongside chronic pressures including rising food prices, housing stress and concentrated corporate power, have exposed structural weaknesses in food access, governance and system resilience. This review examines how community\u2011led responses to food and nutrition insecurity function during disruption, whether they buffer short-term hardship or contribute to adaptive capacity and redistribution of agency. Guided by the six\u2011pillar food security framework and a socio-ecological model, responses are examined across household, community, organisational and governance levels. A continuum of responses is identified, ranging from downstream emergency food relief that buffers immediate hardship through to community and organisational food infrastructure that strengthens local resilience and governance\u2011level responses with greater transformative potential. Drawing on this synthesis, we propose the SEEDS (Socio-Ecological Enablers of Dietary Security) Model, which conceptualises how food system responses across socio-ecological levels and over time can progress from buffering (acute) to adaptation (medium\u2011term) and ultimately transformation (long\u2011term). Central to this framework is a shift in decision\u2011making power, accountability and participation. While many initiatives improve food access and short\u2011term stability during crises, the greatest potential for transformation lies where responses are embedded within governance structures, enable meaningful community participation and influence policy, procurement and resource allocation. Implications for public health nutrition practice include expanded roles in systems leadership, cross\u2011sector governance and advocacy for upstream policy reform.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0029665126105059","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,3]],"date-time":"2026-07-03T09:50:38Z","timestamp":1783072238000},"page":"1-14","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Redistributing power in food systems: how community-led responses move from crisis buffering to systems transformation"],"prefix":"10.1017","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8044-444X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Karen E.","family":"Charlton","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/00eae9z71","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"The University of Newcastle"},{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/0020x6414","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Hunter Medical Research Institute"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Suzanne C.","family":"Pickles","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Wollongong"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Katherine","family":"Kent","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Wollongong"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,3]]},"container-title":["Proceedings of the Nutrition Society"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/core\/services\/aop-cambridge-core\/content\/view\/S0029665126105059","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,15]],"date-time":"2026-07-15T09:10:23Z","timestamp":1784106623000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/core\/product\/identifier\/S0029665126105059\/type\/journal_article"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,3]]},"references-count":0,"alternative-id":["S0029665126105059"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/s0029665126105059","relation":{},"ISSN":["0029-6651","1475-2719"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0029-6651","type":"print"},{"value":"1475-2719","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,3]]},"assertion":[{"value":"\u00a9 The Author(s), 2026.
