Did you know that the average UK students’ weekly food allowance is approximately £23? The Eating Well on a Budget challenge is designed to demonstrate that even on such a tight budget, anyone is still capable of eating good quality, local food.
The challenge is an opportunity for participants to explore the contribution food makes to climate change and understand what makes food ‘sustainable’ by dedicated themselves to eating local, seasonal produce within a £23 budget for two weeks. The challenge culminated with a shared local meal, giving participants the opportunity to share their experiences and some tasty sustainable food.
You can read more about their experiences and on sustainable food on the CCF Sustainable Food Blog.
