Herefordshire Food Alliance
Organisation:
Herefordshire Food Alliance
Action:
Buy Good Food Direct in Herefordshire: The Food Alliance supports farmers producing food in ways that sustain and build nature. This includes: using cover crops to reduce soil erosion, improving soil health through herbal pasture, and stopping the run-off of dangerous nutrients into waterways by planting 'buffer strips' of meadow. Examples of these farmers can be found here: https://herefordshirefoodcharter.org.uk/blog/local-food-and-drink-producers-herefordshire
Make positive change through actively supporting farmers that are helping to tackle the issues affecting our rivers. You will make a real difference to Herefordshire and beyond with your food purchases.
You can also show your commitment to a better food system by signing the Good Food Charter - on the Food Alliance website and seeing who else is working for change too.
