Description

The objectives of this study are to provide an understanding of:
• current sourcing and supply chain practices in the UK to supply local food products within the bakery, dairy, fresh produce, and meat sectors into convenience stores owned or franchised by national retailers, and food manufacturers;
• supply chain practices that are working well and enabling local sourcing, and the barriers to the further uptake of local sourcing; and
• the opportunities to increase local food sourcing.

The scope of this study is not intended to include local sourcing into individual retailers / points of sale (e.g. farm shops, markets, 'corner shops' etc).
