It's time for Real Food. It's time to rethink our use of artificial fertilisers and pesticides that damage our health, and the wasteful transportation of produce across the world that contributes to climate change. Above all, it's time for a fair deal for consumers, producers and the environment.
Our Real Food
Guide website helps you discover what real food is and why it's better
for your health, the environment and your local community. There are
also examples of different ways to get your hands on real food, and
a directory of local real food outlets at www.realfoodguide.org.uk.
We've been
helping local communities protect their local shops from the threat
of new supermarkets - find out more about our Tesco
campaign.
From 18th April
2004, new European legislation came into force on the labelling of
food containing GM products. If you see any GM labelled food, please
e-mail info@foe.co.uk, stating
the date spotted, brand, product, the supermarket and the town/city.
Take
action: join the battle against GM, and ask your MP to support
our campaigns to fight supermarket power and cut down on pesticides.
