The average Australian Basket of food has traveled over 70,000km from producer to consumer (Anna Salleh 2007) This distance means the energy consumed in food freight often outweighs the nutritional energy in the food itself. (Australian Conservation Foundation 2009)

2. Sydney Basin Production 70% of the vegetable tonnage produced in NSW. Agriculture in the Sydney region is valued at approx $1 billion

5. How much do we eat? The Sydney Metropolitan area covers 12 145 000 ha and has a population of 4.28 million people.

11. Food Miles The Average Australian Basket of food has travelled over 70 000km from producer to consumer. (Anna Salleh 2007) This distance means the energy consumed in food freight often outweighs the nutritional energy in the food itself (Australian Conservation Foundation 2009) e.g.: 1000Kj 170Kj

17. Permaculture Permaculture = Permanent agriculture It is a self sustaining system which thinks about the productive landscape in terms of an ecology which considers relationships rather than individual elements Zoning there are 5 Permaculture zones which are differentiated by their usefulness. There are no clearly defined borders between the growing zones in a permaculture design zones need not be of a circular or any regular shape. Sector Planning Sectors deal with the natural elements in your landscape: sun, light, wind, rain, fire and water flow
