Motion Text
That this House supports Farmers Weekly 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.
