Shop local: support farmers to support nature

Organisation

Herefordshire Food Alliance    

Action 

Buy River Friendly Food here 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.

Location 

Across Herefordshire

Level of commitment 

Low.  Small changes in buying habits - buying milk direct from a vending machine for example - can make a big difference to the local economy and waterways! 

Training required  

No training needed to purchase good food from good farms; just check the link.  There are however many informative links to help us understand the challenges agriculture and rivers are facing.

Kit needed / provided 

None

Outcome 

You can make massive 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.
