Local Food Is Miles Better Campaign

EDM number 2256 in 2005-06, proposed by Geoffrey Clifton-Brown on 24/05/2006.

That this House supports Farmer's Weekly's Local Food is Miles Better campaign; believes that buying locally grown food is an excellent way for consumers to reconnect with farmers and develop a better understanding of where their food comes from; recognises that producing and buying food locally can help the environment, boost the economy, and support British farming; and calls for supermarkets to promote, stock and label locally produced food to cut food miles and support local producers.

This motion has been signed by a total of 154 MPs.
