Abstract:
Consumers within the UK have access to a wide variety of international foodstuffs and cuisines but there is also a growing interest in local food. This case study explores what is meant by local food, outlines some of the benefits claimed for, and the problems seen to be associated with, food that is produced and consumed locally and discusses some of the routes to market for local food.
