Local food is a different way to look at food production and distribution.
It creates closer links between producer and consumer. This helps small producers find new markets, whilst bringing fresh, affordable food to consumers. A raft of community based projects are also now finding ways to address food security, contribute to urban and rural environmental management, and help develop new, self-sustaining economies.
