Generally fresh, locally produced food has a lower associated energy cost because it travels less distance or fewer Food Miles. This is the distance the food has travelled from the farm to its point of sale. A mango bought in Ballarat will have travelled many more food miles, used more energy and contributed more greenhouse gases than an apple sourced from Bacchus Marsh. Even better, grow your own! You know that it is fresh, local and if you choose, chemical free. Read more to see the video, find out about some Ballarat local food, and the wisdom of recycling.
