4 new accredited Better Food Traders connect Londoners with ethical food producers

by London-TV in Business
A new community food retail network launched at the end of 2019, Better Food Traders, is turning the mainstream food system on its head, one local area at a time. The not-for-profit enterprise, spearheaded by Hackney social enterprise Growing Communities, is supporting ethical businesses to sell sustainably grown fruit and vegetables to their local communities.
