Farmers Weekly is supporting British Food Fortnight (Sept 20 - Oct 5) and if you want to know more about how it is promoting to retailers, consumers, caterers and schools look at the following:
A 'Want to buy British' service enabling the public to see at a touch of a button what British produce is available in the supermarkets - people can search by product or by supermarket, see which supermarkets are selling the most British produce and use the information to ask their local store to stock more British product ranges. Accessible via top right hand corner of www.britishfoodfortnight.co.uk The new 'Buying British' information service that for the first time in one place, provides consumers, retailers and caterers with everything they need to know about buying British food including what logos to look for and information about regional and seasonal varieties.
