One more thing from a developing country
Local food is great. But just because those green beans have travelled less distance to get to you, doesn't necessarily mean they're better for the environment. And the fact of the matter is that stopping buying food from poor countries because it's travelled further risks cutting the income that people depend on - in Africa alone, an estimated 1.5 million women and men depend on agricultural exports to the UK.
And getting food to the supermarket is only part of the picture. Emissions from transporting food make only around 12 percent of the total. Growing, manufacturing, packaging and disposing of waste make up the rest.
So when it comes to products like rice or lentils - when you've got the decision to buy them from rich countries, such as the US, or poorer countries, like India - we think you should always go for ones from poor countries.
