The UK food import test, should we be consuming locally grown produce?

Find out if the UK is unnecessarily importing fruit and vegetables that can be easily grown in our own country. Stopping the 40% of food importations we are currently on will heavily reduce the UK’s carbon footprint. With climate change at an all-time high as the recent crisis alert hits, the UK should know about the always-changing weather conditions affecting our food production and how we can all overcome it. Join me and discover which ways we can help reduce food importations in London.
