The Greens-led City of Moreland recently agreed to change its catering contracts to only serve vegetarian food at all council events held on Mondays. The weekly briefing is held over a buffet dinner.

Animal Justice Party MP Andy Meddick has also campaigned for the Victorian Parliament to go vegan every Monday.

He said going meat free was a way for his colleagues to collectively combat the climate emergency.

"The most recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) special report notes that clean energy and clean transport alone will simply not be enough to cut global emissions to avoid dangerous warming. We must do more - and it starts with what is on our plates," he said.

"This is a common sense and reasonable measure."

But, Koallah Farm managing director Steven Castle said both campaigns were ridiculous and were typical of city-centric decision makers abandoning farmers, their families and the regional economy.

"We just can't afford for this sort of narrow-mindedness to become any more systemic than it already is within governments," he said.

"It's laughable that these public servants can sit in their climate-controlled, inner-city offices mounting an argument that eating less meat is the way to reduce climate change.

"We support traditional farming methods and the more difficult they make it for producers like us, the more food that will need to be produced through factory farming and mass production - this having an even greater impact on the environment."

Koallah Farm is a fully integrated, on-farm meat producer from outside Camperdown that has delivered its meat to Melbournians for more than a decade.

The farm will now offer a 50 per cent discount on all meat and free delivery for all residents living in the City of Moreland.

Mr Castle said he wanted to reach out to Moreland residents to give them an opportunity to show that they support the families of all Victorian farmers.

"We are where food comes from - it's pretty simple. If the publicly elected decision makers of this state continue to make life harder for farmers, then more and more food will have to be trucked in and that sure certainly isn't great for the planet," he said.

"Why not just respect everyone's individual right to choose what they put in their bodies - without this unnecessary posturing.

"Thankfully we live, work and create jobs in a part of the state that recognises how important farmers are and where we get the public support of local members like Bev McArthur who moved quickly to counter this nonsense with her own idea."

Member for Western Victoria Bev McArthur, who lives near Camperdown, has proposed a whole week of meat- themed days at Parliament to support farmers.
