Choosing local food
Buying from nearby producers can support local businesses and help shoppers learn how their food is produced. Freshness, nutrition, pesticide use and animal welfare depend on the product and farming practices; buying locally alone does not guarantee any of them.
Food’s environmental impact depends on the type of food and how it is produced and transported. A shorter journey does not automatically make a product lower carbon. Organic products must meet certification rules; locally produced food is not necessarily organic. For background, see research on food’s environmental impacts and the government’s organic food guidance.
