Local food should be fresher and healthier because it's less likely to contain preservatives, or be
processed |
 |
Local food should use less packaging as it won't have to be
transported for many miles |
 |
Local food should be better value, especially if you buy in season |
 |
Buying local keeps money in the local economy by supporting all
parts of the supply chain |
 |
Buying local supports our farmers and growers which helps
protect the special environment and landscape of the Yorkshire Dales, Forest of Bowland and
other surrounding areas |
 |
Local food supplies won’t be so directly affected by
worldwide events beyond our control |
 |
Fewer food miles is good news for the long term sustainability
of our planet |
