The Jersey Local Food Challenge will return at the end of August, challenging islanders to see how much of their weekly diet they can supplement with local produce. The challenge, which will run from 19th – 25th August, aims to educate people on how easy it is to make small changes to eat more sustainably and the health benefits that are derived from food with a lower carbon footprint.
This year organiser Bethan Watkins is hoping to attract more participants than ever before with multiple ways in which you can take part.
Alongside the week long challenge Bethan will also be hosting a community cookout with the Royal Jersey Agricultural & Horticultural Society’s Cultivate Programme. The exclusive event will be a celebration of local cuisine and a showcase of what is seasonally available. At the end of the week there will be a day of fun, food and music held at Scoop Co-Operative to raise awareness of the benefits of buying more from local producers and outlets.
