Environment

Many food and drink production practices in Australia have resulted in soil loss, salinity and reduced productivity. The widespread use of chemical fertilisers, pesticides and herbicides have a detrimental effect on surrounding ecosystems. The required shift to farming practices that nurture ecosystems requires consumers help. Through identifying and purchasing quality produce, we can support these positive farming practices.

Wellbeing

Food and drink percolates though the fabric of our bodies and our lives. It provides a wealth of opportunities to improve (or harm) our wellbeing. We can enhance our health through the growth, collection, preparation, cooking and eating of things delightful and necessary.

Food

Our food and drink choices influence the methods used to produce our food and drink, and the quality of that food and drink. So what can we do to help encourage more sustainable production, manufacturing and distribution of healthy food and drink?

Eat Organic Food

Too many pesticides, herbicides and fungicides in your food? Try eating organic.
