FOOD MILES resources from
Farming Weekly Also check out the 100 MILES project. This is a project which tries to get people eating food grown within 100 miles of home.. Check out http://www.100milediet.org for more details. A good Independent front cover on packaging which is a related issue. For example, I've seen COCONUTS in clingfilm... Do they really need it ? Won't most people recognise what it is ? Or is there less packaging now in some respects ? I used to work on a fruit and vegetable stall on Mexborough Market in South Yorkshire in the mid 1970s (yes I know I don't look old enough...) and when we unpacked the apples they'd all be individually wrapped in tissue paper, and only a few of them would have stickers on them. They now all need to have stickers so that checkout staff can identify the variety of apple and put in the right code.
