achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|Exeter Local Food Centre
Our work from last year is ongoing, With funding from the
Conscience Trust, Food Exeter has been
exploring the feasibility of creating a ‘local food centre’.
Our research has shown that there is a
significant need for a better and more efficient supply of
ethically-produced local food to businesses
and consumers in Exeter, and to increase the production of
organic and agro-ecological food. The
purpose of the centre will be to reduce distribution costs and
make sustainable local food more
available, by acting as an aggregator of supply and demand.
It will guarantee a market to local
suppliers, and a regular and reliable supply of fresh local
produce to retailers, individuals, catering
establishments and more. Through economies of scale it will
be able to achieve cost-savings and
pass these on to customers whilst paying producers fairly.
We are now seeking other partners to take this project
forward due to lack of capacity.|
