A recent survey has suggested that buying local produce is very much in the consciousness of consumers, with 30% of those surveyed claiming to have specifically purchased locally produced food in the last month. The motivation for this was mainly attributed to the fewer food miles involved with transporting produce locally, ensuring freshness on arrival.
