We want to raise awareness of all the incredible local food growers, producers, retailers, cafes, restaurants, caterers and suppliers in Oxfordshire.
LEARN MOREWhat Oxford eats accounts for around a fifth of its total carbon emissions. The food system of the city is responsible for the equivalent of 380,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide every year. To put that into context, this is twice the emissions arising from all of the cars in the city.
In a city that consumes nearly 130,000 tonnes of food a year, only 52% is sourced within the UK and a mere 1% comes from local sources.
We want to raise awareness of all the incredible local food growers, producers, retailers, cafes, restaurants, caterers and suppliers so that everyone in Oxfordshire can make an informed choice about where and how to access good food.
There are many incredible places to eat out in Oxfordshire. Check out the list of GFO network members around Oxfordshire for a list of sustainable cafes, restaurants, and pubs.
