People & Consumption Group
Main Content
The transportation, distribution, and collection of food constitutes the biggest source of household carbon emissions and twice what we use for heating , lighting and daily car use. For this reason the People & Consumption Group, more usually called The Food Group, targets foodmiles and our aim is to find ways to reduce them through promoting locally produced foods. We have published a Local Food Directory [see right column >> ] of over 31 suppliers within a ten mile radius of Chew Magna and this has proved to be very successful in providing shopping choices closer to home.
Key Issues
A substantial amount of our income is spent outside of the parish of Chew Magna. This group aims to look at:
- Promoting a sustainable local economy
- Promoting the local food economy - increasing the amount of food bought from as close by as possible
- Promote the fact that consumers are powerful and can have enormous influence
- Investigate a skills swapping scheme within the Parish.
