How far has my food travelled? A food’s country of origin may be on the label. The means of transport - as well as the distance - is important. Good farmers’ markets have a policy of selling food from within a defined local area.

What can I do? Buy food that is grown locally. Buy food when it is in season. Walk to local shops. Buying food with as little packaging as possible.

Project ideas Find out how many food miles your food has travelled. Make a map of all of the places that your food has come from. Find out what farmers grow around St Neots. Test a basket of shopping to find out where your favourite foods come from.
