∙ 11y agoThe main food crop grown in Australia is wheat.
Because of Australia's range of climate, the country is able to grow nearly any crop here as long as the water is available and the soil is suitable. Greengrocers in Australia offer a fantastic array of fruit and vegetables, most of which are locally grown. There is a huge variety of fruits and vegetables - apples, Oranges, melons, citrus, tropical, Pears, potatoes, onions, salad vegetables, carrots, lettuce, cabbage, broccoli, tomatoes - anything you can imagine. Australia has a very strong stonefruit industry (cherries, peaches, apricots, nectarines, etc) while the tropical areas supply pineapples, mangoes, and bananas.
Sugar cane is a significant industry in the eastern and north-eastern regions.
Australia grows a lot of cereal crops - wheat, barley, oats for example and also leguminous crops - beans, lentils, chickpeas, as well as oilseed crops such as rapeseed (canola), safflower and sunflower.
Livestock are also "grown" and bred in Australia. Beef cattle is a thriving food industry, as are sheep for meat ("fat lambs"), pigs and poultry. Given that milk is a food, one should also include dairy cattle in the list.
Corn is an increasingly popular food crop, as is rice, although the latter requires large amounts of water to be diverted from the river system.

Great question! Buying locally is an option that consumers are very privileged to have, and there are many benefits that come with it. When you buy locally, it cuts out the "middle man" that produces, transports, and prices your food. Locally grown food really is grown near you. Purchasing food within your area is stimulating and helpful to your community, being that you are buying from local farmers. As a consumer, when you buy these items, you know that you are getting the freshest possible food available. Have you ever have a tomato that was picked just 24 hours ago? It's delicious! Ultimately, eating locally grown food is not only beneficial to your health, it also lets you feel good about what you're putting on your plate.

For example, increased consumer spending is good for our national economy, while saving may be the best choice for our personal economy. When it comes to food consumption, dieters can be personally responsible and civic minded simultaneously. This is accomplished by adhering to a locally grown food diet.

Indeed, some local foods are just as synthetic as nationally advertised products.
