SHOPPING - LOCAL FOOD SHOPS
1. Look for the country of origin sticker on fruit and buy British.
2. Learn to read labels on food and become aware of the different ingredients.
3. Avoid using products with palm oil as its use as food crop and bio-fuel is destroying the rainforests and peatlands in Indonesia and endangering species such as orang-utans.
There are a number of certification schemes that show food is produced to strict organic standards.
1.Soil Association, 2. Demeter – it is the symbol for biodynamic production – organic and beyond.
3.Organic Farmers & Growers (based in Shrewsbury).
Look out for CSA schemes (Community Supported Agriculture) in which you help with the labour and running costs of growing, and receive your returns in produce.
