Come to ACA's 104th Climate Cafe to find out why its important to eat local and see two brilliant initiatives aiming to make that easier.

The three big things you can do indiviually to reduce your carbon footprint is make more sustainable choices when you heat your home, travel and buy food. Tonight we explore why where your food comes from really matters and highlight two local schemes that are helping you buy local to reduce food miles and support the local economy.

Dan Crossley from the Food Ethics Council will talk about The role of eating local food for a more sustainable lifestyle

Coralie Henke from Food Link will tell us about Food Link NE which is direclty linking local farmers to local consumers of quality home-grown food.

Dave McGrath, an ACA member, will describe the North East Producers Project that uses graphics and AI to inform where all the farmers markets and and what stalls are going to at each one so consumers can make their local food purchase more reliably.

The three will speak for about 15 minutes each after which there will be a Q&A session where you can ask them about local food production and supply.
