Supporting local farmers, growers and food producers helps keep them in business - and us looked after as customers, fed on healthy, nutritious food. The other obvious benefit is the massive reduction in food miles.

Buying food from local suppliers enables us all to get to know them personally - gaining added confidence in how they produce our food - free from chemical additives and applying first-rate animal husbandry.

Swap some of the food you eat - meat, vegetables, fruit etc - for organic versions. True organic food is produced without chemical additives - which are now proved to be bad for our health and our soil.

Plant a seed! That is all it takes to start growing your own healthy food. A kitchen shelf or window box could be just the beginning. From there, all kinds of things are possible, depending on how excited you get!

Food Finders Hub is for everyone - connecting buyers, sellers, producers and growers. It's a web-based facility and details where buyers can get the quality healthy foods they are wishing to source.

Pop-Up Shops make great businesses for enterprising types - or are equally valuable as Community Inspired Projects run by community-minded people. They can also be easily sited at convenient stopping points.

Eggs laid by happy hens - with freedom to roam outdoors - is a world away from the production processes employed by the mega-farming corporates - which place revenue earning as their no1 goal.

The thing about raw milk is, it's extremely beneficial for our health - ask any dairy farmer. The difference is, it's unpasteurised, which means its natural content remains to support our own immune systems.

Cooking meals is so much better for us than buying them ready-made - containing lists of artificial additives having no place in our food. And there're so many great, simple-to-follow recipes based on good healthy raw foods.

It's never been so important for us to know where food comes from - how the food system currently works [or doesn't!] - and what's good and bad for us. We're past relying on mega-corporates - and what they tell us.

A way to do this is to start a Community Inspired Project - like a Pop-Up Shop selling other people's local produce - or grow that produce in the community. People working together can achieve so much!

One way to reduce what's thrown away is to learn how to better use the left-overs - whether it's to make stock, cook parts of vegetables we've been wasting - like broccoli stalks - or include them in a yummy Veggie Bake!

Buy from small shops rather than mega-corporations. Small shops benefit people in the local communities - whereas mega-corporations are fixated on their bottom line - for the benefit of their faceless investors.

Shockingly, even some teachers don't know where food comes from! It's time for all of us to reconnect with our basic living needs - such that we can better care for how those needs are met - sustainably.

When we understand that food is medicine - the importance of what we eat becomes crystal clear. Our bodies are attuned to processing the good healthy foods we need to maintain our healthy immune systems.
