4 Ways To Make Your Food Shop More Sustainable This Christmas
1: Buy Local and Seasonal: Opting for locally grown and seasonal produce can significantly reduce the emissions associated with food transportation and storage. Food grown without the need for additional inputs such as irrigation, light and heat have a much lower impact. The best way to know where your food is coming from is to buy from a local company you can trust, and choose to eat seasonal produce where possible.
2: Minimise Food Waste: Food waste is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. Plan meals carefully, store food properly, and use leftovers creatively to minimise waste. Composting organic waste can also help reduce methane emissions from landfills. Many local councils now collect food waste from households or there are great composters on the market.
3: Support Sustainable Turkey Production: Know where you food is coming from and how it was produced. Traceability and transparency on food production can be really difficult when you are buying from large companies dealing with complex supply chains. By buying locally from businesses you can trust is the best way of knowing how your food has been produced. This is really important to ensure your turkey (or other meat) comes from a high welfare free-range system. The Golden Turkey Standard is a fantastic way to know that your turkey has been raised the right way. There around 27 farms certified to this standard in the UK.
4: Reduce Packaging Waste: Choose products with minimal packaging or opt for eco-friendly packaging options such as recyclable or compostable materials. Buying your vegetables and turkey from us means you will have the most minimal pastic possible on your Christmas dinner. When buying food gifts choose suppliers that minimise packaging, use plastic free alternatives, and support sustainable producers.
