6.Eat the Seasons (eattheseasons.co.uk) is updated every week with a list of the foods currently in season, as straightforward as they come.

There are a number of good reasons to eat more local, seasonal food:

  • to reduce the energy (and associated CO2 emissions) needed to grow and transport the food we eat
  • to avoid paying a premium for food that is scarcer or has travelled a long way
  • to support the local economy
  • to reconnect with nature’s cycles and the passing of time                                                                                                                                                                        but, most importantly, because
  • seasonal food is fresher and so tends to be tastier and more nutritious
