Other ways of eating more sustainably include eating food that is locally -or even home – produced and eating what is in season. Shorter supply chains reduce the chances of food becoming damaged/ lost, whilst by being fresher, ensures greater retention of nutrients. Locally produced food also strengthens the local economy and community.
As well as eating what’s in season, we can also preserve any seasonal excesses. Surplus fruits can be made into jam, and fruit and vegetables into chutneys and pickles. Surplus produce can also be dried, frozen or bottled.
