Sophie Hansen is a vocal advocate for seasonal eating.

Ms Hansen is a well-known food writer and blogger at Local is Lovely and lives on a cattle farm in Orange, NSW.

"Food is my passion, and sharing the joys of locally-grown produce and making the most of them when they're in season is what I love to do," she said.

"If more people start to think in this way, we start looking at what's being grown around our communities, there's more support for local producers, and we start changing the way we think about food."

Ms Hansen told ACM that people need to practise "eating seasonally".

"It's a lot cheaper to cook seasonally because everything is a bounty," she said.

Added to that, it's good for the environment, and less food ends up in the bin at the end of the month.
