30 ways to make a difference

  Food miles are not good for anyone! Buy locally from small businesses to not only support your community but also reduce food miles, packaging, pesticides and preservatives! Honey is a wonderful place to start when looking for local produce. Urban hives are popping up in cities across Australia helping to reintroduce the ‘urban garden’ and supporting the critical environmental work of the honeybee.

  Stimulate your local economies and shop from farmers markets. Not only is the produce fresher and tastier but it is also better for the environment. Most small farms use organic farming practices and selling at markets helps reduce food miles and waste and pollution from packaging. Are you looking to support a farmers market near you? The Australian Farmers Market Association has a helpful search engine to help you do just that!
