[Foodtech] Locavore project - could be used to create an interesting design brief...

Eating close to home: the locavore challenge


What happens when one rural reporter takes on the challenge to eat only
locally produced food (and wine) and all within a 160 kilometre radius
and for an entire month?

She initially starves and then discovers a whole range of fresh local
produce to cure her cravings for chocolate, lattes and al dente pasta!

It's about getting back to our grassroots, supporting our local farmers
and reducing the miles our food travels from paddock to plate.
