Unit 2 Food Studies

Our VCE Unit 2 Food Studies students have been investigating key Victorian food industries, with a focus on horticultural growing regions, food miles, sustainability, and local manufacturing.

As part of this, students explored the impact of food miles by taste testing a variety of apples sold in supermarkets like Coles and comparing them to locally grown, organic apples from Bacchus Marsh.

They sampled a range of honeys, including a whipped honey that is packed, labelled, and distributed in Bendigo and sold at local farmers markets.

The standout favourite was the raw organic Mt Stirling honey, with students noting its zesty flavour and its lower environmental impact.
