Food Miles
A food mile is how far food travels from the farmer who produces it to the consumer who eats it. That includes the journey from farm to processor, then from processor to retailer and finally from retailer to consumer. It includes travel within the UK as well as between countries.

Where does food come from?

Consumers have little or no knowledge about the implications of their food purchases, nor how far food has traveled before it reaches their plates. In a study on food miles in the UK, 47% of people do not know where their food comes from.
