City of Ballarat will consider the four year 'Good Food For All' strategy at this week's ordinary council meeting.

The plan looks at how different stakeholders can influence Ballarat's food system, including aspects of producing, transporting, processing, retailing and consuming food, and disposing of food and packaging waste.

Research by Sustainability Victoria found that Victorian households throw out more than $2000 worth of food annually.

The aims of the strategy include increasing access to and promotion of safe and nutritious food, to reduce food and packaging waste, and to support and promote local producers.

Over 10 years, the city hopes to reduce the number overweight or obese adults from 60.5 per cent of the population in Ballarat to 57 per cent.

Council officers who compiled the report said it was the first plan of council "which recognises health, sustainability and food security issues within the local food system".

Another long term aim is to improve the proportion of adults consuming 3-4 serves of vegetables per day by six per cent, to 37 per cent of Ballarat residents.

The report notes that more thoughtful responses to food insecurity and wastage could change the amount of environment impact in the sector.

The Public Health Association of Australia notes the country's ecological footprint is three times the world average, and food production accounts for around 30% of this footprint.
