Local IS best

Proved on the street We couldn’t have planned it better. At the Eat the Street event in Callender Riggs Falkirk in September we conducted a taste test between carrots bought at a supermarket and carrots grown on the temporary allotments on the street. Overwhelmingly the home grown carrot was preferred by the visitors to the event.
Friends of the Earth Forth Valley supported the event organized by Forth Valley Food Links to promote the environmental benefits of local food and to promote interest in allotments. The stall gave information on the issue of foodmiles and promoted the Friends of the Earth Campaign
