Locally Produced Food

EDM number 168 in 2006-07, proposed by Mark Williams on 20/11/2006.

That this House pays tribute to the range of excellent locally-produced food available across the United Kingdom; acknowledges that transporting food over long distances is bad for the environment; salutes the work of farmers' markets and food festivals in promoting the regional variety and freshness of food; congratulates Trethowan's Dairy in Llanddewi Brefi on using traditional methods to produce their award-winning Gorwydd Caerphilly cheese; encourages supermarkets and schools to source much more of their food locally, following the example of Cardiff Council; and calls upon the Government to provide extra funding to regional development agencies, tourist boards and other local bodies to support the production and sale of food locally.

This motion has been signed by a total of 44 MPs.
