Synopsis

How is it possible to get hold of food that is delicious and healthy and simply be eating a lovely meal to make a small contribution to the safety of the planet? The answer is to buy direct from local small-scale growers. Packed with food and nutrition facts, this book examines the many benefits of consuming locally produced food. This positive look at responsible food production, illustrates the array of health benefits that this can bring - for people and the environment. It shows that good food costs less when it's local. The book contrasts delicious local food with the unsavoury effects of supermarket-led food production, and looks at the culture of the supermarket. One example of this is the way people are willingly lulled into believing that rural pictures on packaging truly represent fresh farmyard food, when the likelihood is that it has journeyed around the world and is mummified by preservatives.
