At the end of the lesson, you'll watch a Case Study about Bardee, an innovative business that takes food waste and transforms it into sustainable products for pets and organic fertilisers to support healthy farming practices.

In this lesson, you'll learn about the range of benefits that come from shorter supply chains and localised food systems - not just for farmers and food producers, but for food eaters, too!

At the end of the lesson, you'll watch a Case Study about Eat Local, Eat Wild, an organic and regenerative farm in Victoria's High Country that champions local food production and distribution.

In this lesson, you'll build on your understanding of local food systems by learning about seasonal eating.

As you'll discover, seasonal eating is the best way we can connect back with nature, get creative in the kitchen and have the lowest possible impact on the environment.

In this lesson, you'll learn how to take sustainability one step further with regenerative agriculture: as a way to rehabilitate and protect the Earth's precious resources. These amazing practices not only pull carbon from the atmosphere but provide huge benefits to the farmers and their crops themselves.
