Myth vs Fact : Energy Use in Food Production

❌ MYTH - Running equipment at lower temperatures saves energy.

✅ FACT - Not always. Suboptimal temperatures can extend processing times, reduce efficiency, and increase microbial risk — costing more energy overall. Smart energy management requires data, not guesswork.

Want to cut energy use without compromising safety? We design optimised thermal workflows.

🥧 April 23rd is National Pie Day
Celebrate Aussie pies - classic, true blue Aussie staple.

Few foods say Australia quite like a good pie, golden, flaky, and filled with comfort. But behind every delicious bite lies an opportunity to rethink how we source, prepare, and share our food.

From bakeries using rescued vegetables and imperfect produce to home cooks turning leftovers into hearty fillings, pies are proving that sustainability can be simple and satisfying. Whether it’s a classic family favourite or a plant‑based creation packed with local ingredients, every pie tells a story of resourcefulness and care for the planet.

This National Pie Day, let’s celebrate innovation in the kitchen, where food science meets tradition, and where every crust can help reduce waste. Because a truly great pie doesn’t just taste good; it does good.

Whether it’s a veggie pie made from rescued produce Mumma Mac's prized winning Apple Pie or a classic family favourite, pies can be sustainable and delicious.

April 21 — International Chickpea Day 🌱

Honour the legume that feeds the world sustainably.

From ancient fields to modern plates, chickpeas have nourished communities for thousands of years — a humble pulse with extraordinary power. They thrive where other crops struggle, enriching soil, conserving water, and fueling innovation in plant‑based nutrition.

Today we celebrate the science behind the chickpea: its protein‑rich profile, drought resistance, and role in sustainable food systems. Whether blended into creamy hummus, crisped into falafel, simmered in curries, or tossed through vibrant salads, chickpeas remind us that good food can be good for the planet too.

Happy Chickpea Day! 🌱
