Shopping Locally: The Farmer’s Market and the £4 Tomato Shopping Locally: The Farmer’s Market and the £4 Tomato ( Or: How I Paid Too Much and Still Felt Smug About It ) There it sat. Red. Ro...

Most food is transported by boat, so food miles are a relatively small part of the carbon footprint of most diets Many people are interested in how they can eat in a more climate-friendly way. I’m often asked about the most effective way to do so.

Food transport impact smaller than believed. Focus on diet for climate-friendly change.

Lab space and rooftop farm planned at Cambridge office block Developers share plans for a project to turn an empty office block into a new innovation hub.

While we welcome trade from other nations that meet our high standards, buying local means more #FoodSecurity, lower #FoodMiles, and #FarmToFork connections.

Wild venison served in schools for first time to cut food miles Pilot project on Jura and Islay, the first of its type in the UK, aims to promote sustainable, locally sourced meals

Oh look - we have made the Times too.

Now if we could just learn from this and use the locally grown logs from our forests to heat our homes instead of shipping them off and bringing in logs from as far afield as Latvia, that woudl be great!

Venison added to school lunch menu on Scottish islands to cut food miles Children on two Scottish islands are being served wild venison for school lunch for the first time.

Jura was also in @scotnational.bsky.social yesterday with news that a venison processing unit set up by local crofters recently is now supplying local food to schools in #Jura & #Islay.

We have 5k deer so this is brilliant on so many levels.
