Try to shop local, organic, animal-friendly and fair trade (LOAF)
When food shopping, try to adopt the LOAF principle – that’s local, organic, animal-friendly, and fair-traded.
With so many choices available to us, shopping can be an ethical minefield. Is it better to buy organic or local fair-trade or local? We all have our guiding principles and quirky logic. At Generous, we find LOAF a useful starting point.

Instead of aimlessly wandering around the supermarket I now make shopping lists only buy what I need and which vegetables and fruit are mainly in season so end up with less waste and save money too because LOAF doesn’t mean more expensive!
