“How much of the food you eat is locally produced/grown
0 10
1. Very little is local in ASDA / Tesco’s
2. Not everything here.
3. Depends on price.
4. Hard to know.
1. Buy what I can local.
2. Buy Scottish whenever possible.
3. Grow veggies and some fruit in the summer.
4. Buy from Local Shops.
1. ‘Make’ supermarkets supply more local produce.
2. Better labeling of food to tell us where it is produced/ grown (not just ‘Scottish’ or ‘UK’ labels).
3. Better choice - more variety of what we can get locally.
4. Farmers markets on High Streets (like in Haddington).
Why not 10? Why not 0?
