Local Food

CPRE believe that people should be able to walk into a shop, supermarket or restaurant and find high-quality, affordable local food that:

• comes from the nearby countryside
• is produced in a way that benefits the environment – or at the very least does not harm it

At the same time we believe it is important that the Public see the value of local foods and have confidence in local food labelling.

We meet with farming and rural business organisations in the West Midlands, such as the National Farmers Union and Country, Land and Business Association to promote that vision. Both have specific campaigns promoting local produce.
