Sustainable Food Places member Good Food Oxfordshire has recently launched OxFarmtoFork, in a bid to make it easier for institutions in the county to purchase directly from local producers.
The initiative is rapidly gaining support from businesses across Oxford, particularly the university colleges, who are keen to source local, sustainable produce.
A commitment to agroecological farming practices is at the core of the scheme; for every pound spent on local produce, £2.50 is generated in social, economic, and environmental value.
