When purchasing fruit and vegetables, a lot of the time we dont consider just how far they have travelled, and the wastage associated with that; fuel, storage costs and packaging.

Buying seasonal produce from local suppliers means more often than not you can purchase organic and chemical-free produce, as it does not need to be stored for a long period of time or travel a long way. This reduces the number of pesticides and chemicals that youre ingesting into your body. Another way to reduce waste is to go to farmers markets, shop at local grocers and choose only fruit and vegetables that are loose and not packed in packaging.

Knowing what is in season and when is a challenge. Australia has a diverse and varied climate, this means that depending on where you live it can dictate what to eat. Were also experiencing changes in climate, a lot of fruit and vegetables that could once not be grown in temperate regions are now thriving. Commercially certain fruit and vegetables might not be grown in the temperate region but can thrive in gardens or small orchards.

This calendar is designed to be a reference point for the sustainability-focused, as well as a beautiful addition to your home, office or any space.
