In a bid to tackle food waste and promote sustainability, Gympie Regional Council has unveiled a new initiative that prioritizes fresh, locally sourced produce. Under the plan, council facilities will give preference to buying fresh food from local farmers' markets and suppliers, aiming to reduce the region's reliance on imported goods. This move is expected to not only support the local economy but also provide fresher, healthier options for residents. As Gympie continues to grow and develop, the council's focus on sustainable food systems is set to have a lasting impact on the community.
