This makes sense from a carbon footprint perspective but it does make me very sad, not least because the food available in Wales, in season, can be very limited - especially through the winter.
I grew up in Northern England during the 1970s and essentially had the lifestyle she asks us to aspire to. I remember long months of brassicas and root vegetables with a brief period in the summer where there was a greater variety.
They're also calling for greater support for local farmers but that seems to run contrary to advice to consume less meat and animal products

Buying fruit and vegetables out of season should be seen as a luxury in future, Wales' climate change minister has said. It comes as part of a major new strategy to tackle Wales' carbon footprint and encourage people live more environmentally-friendly lives. People are being asked to cut energy use, drive less and buy local food. |
