PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
LOCAL FOOD IS MILES BETTER CAMPAIGN (23 May 2006)
Motion Details
That this House supports Farmer's Weekly's Local Food is Miles Better campaign; believes that buying locally grown food is an excellent way for consumers to reconnect with farmers and develop a better understanding of where their food comes from; recognises that producing and buying food locally can help the environment, boost the economy, and support British farming; and calls for supermarkets to promote, stock and label locally produced food to cut food miles and support local producers.
