Food Miles are a significant, though largely unseen and unknown global issue and environmental concern. The aim of this project was to visualise Australian Food Miles data, and the subsequent GHG emissions produced, as a way to make the food miles concept more tangible, accessible, and engaging for the audience. This brief exposé aims to increase awareness of the impact of our globalised food system, and the fact that we are all actively a part of it.

The data was sourced from a 2007/2008 food miles study of Melbourne, produced by CERES Community Environment Park, located in East Brunswick, Melbourne. www.ceres.org.au/
