Get fresh, local
Produce
Tackling the food supply and climate crises in one fell swoop.
There are so many benefits to supporting local produce – or even getting started yourself!
How can we improve the supply of
fresh, local produce?
Why produce matters
Fresh, local produce already sounds pretty good – just imagine biting into a crispy, juicy red apple – and there are even more benefits hiding under the surface!
It reduces transport and therefore emissions, it often sells without packaging or in paper bags, it’s healthier for us, and it supports local families and the community.
Get it done!
You can support all this by buying your food locally (and packaging-free) – including nice encounters with the producers. Or you can take it a step further: ever dreamed about growing your own produce? Why not join a local community garden or plant your own food in a DIY garden?
There’s no better taste than the fruit and veggies you grew yourself! So, what are you waiting for?
