Buying British Fruit and Vegetables
|
“No country in the world can beat the British when it comes to growing veggies, especially during British Food Fortnight.” Helen Peacocke, Food Writer
British fruit & vegetables travel less far from farm to shop so regardless of how carbon footprints are calculated it self-evidently has a lower carbon footprint.
Choosing British fruit & vegetables means supporting British farmers whose work helps keep the British countryside the way we want it to look!
