Local and Sustainable Food
The Problem: Industrial agriculture produces food of uncertain quality and harms local ecosystems, while consumption of non-local food imposes high transport impacts
Ipswich Food Coop - Cheap, healthy, organic wholefood
The Food Coop is open once a fortnight on a Saturday morning (10am - 1pm), at the Salvation Army Hall, Bramford Road, Ipswich - see the Food Coop website for opening dates. It buys in bulk from wholesalers (the main one is Suma Wholefoods, an established workers' cooperative) and just adds a small margin (5%) to cover running costs, so it's very good value. The emphasis is on organic food, local produce and Fairtrade.
