Where does your food come from? A quick survey by Permaculture.
Why I want to know....
I recently trialled this survey at a workshop with some happy Australian volunteers to understand where their money went on food purchases and maybe start to challenge themselves how they could do it differently.
It was an interesting activity and I though it worthy of more input from a larger group. The survey doesn't collect identifying information. Most of the trial group were buying fresh fruit and vegetables from supermarkets and most people went for the convenience (guess they are not called 'convenience stores' for nothing.)
