BBO Food Groups have joined Farmers Weekly‘s exclusive Food Miles campaign and have become FW Food Miles Champions.

We have also signed the FW Petition which calls for all supermarkets and retailers to promote, stock and label locally produced food in a way that supports local producers and cuts down the distance the food is transported.

In all our publications we constantly promote local shopping and educate consumers on benefits of buying locally. The 2006-2007 Food Guide featuring 126 people growing, reading, processing and selling local foods & drinks has been distributed to 55,000 consumers via Farmers’ Markets, local retailers, libraries, offices and by post.

You can too support local food and back local producers. Join the Local Food is Miles Better campaign, nominate you Food Miles Hero, join the schools competition, sign the Petition and order your free car sticker.
