Our local food choice is being lost

How far did the food on your plate travel from the place where it was farmed? Can you even make a guess? We are losing our connection with where our food comes from. We don’t know the people who farmed it, the place where it was grown or the kind of landscape and environment it comes from.

From field to fork: The value of local food webs.

Our major new research finds that despite being critical to the health of our high streets, local economies and much loved landscapes, local food networks are under-recognised and poorly supported.
