Seasonal Eating and Reducing Food Miles

Seasonal Eating and Reducing Food Miles

What change do you want to make now to address the climate change crisis? I would like to eat more seasonally and reduce food miles. What do you need to make this change? I would like access to an allotment or growing space. We need to raise awareness of the impact of food miles/ Supermarkets import all year round. we need cheaper foods but that are not imported.

Points

the vegetable crops available in this country in Winter are very limited - root crops and sprouts. Producing anything more interesting would involve heat, which is hardly going to help with climate change.

I like it but food miles are a small part of the problem - the farming methods that use loads of energy and dump pollutants on the ground to wash into watercourses and the sea are a big big part of the problem.
