Taking action to reduce your food Footprint Try to eat seasonal, home grown fruit and vegetables. Try to buy food from local shops instead of big chain stores. This keeps more of your money in the local community. Local shops are also more likely to buy locally, cutting down on the distance your food travels. Buy more fresh fruit and vegetables instead of processed food.
Some organic farmers sell vegetables directly through box schemes .
Buying organic this way is better than buying it in supermarkets. Eat less meat. Whether or not you are a vegetarian, eating too much meat is not good for your health, and uses excessive amounts of land and energy.
