Retail and markets
Support good food choices
Retail defines the food choices of residents and workers in your area. If a wider range of affordable, attractive and locally sustainably grown vegetables are available next to schools and in public places, it can make a huge difference in the daily choices of local people and the local economy.
So get your shop or market to act now and make vegetables convenient, attractive and normal.
