In the face of economic and environmental challenges, it is more important than ever to supporting local farmers. By adopting new consumer habits and getting informed to understand the issues they face, everyone can contribute to enhancing the work of producers while enjoying fresher, healthier products.
This approach also helps to preserve agricultural diversity and encourage production that is more respectful of the environment.
Learning to consume differently
Supporting farmers starts with a changing consumption patterns. It starts with give preference to local, seasonal products from environmentally-friendly farming. Buying directly from producers helps to promote a fairer, more sustainable local economy.
It is also essential to educate people to take a more conscious approach to food, by limiting unnecessary purchases and promoting the value of all agricultural products. For example, by, cooking «ugly» vegetables» or use food leftovers in creative recipes to maximise the use of resources and reduce waste.
Avoiding food waste is part of a more global approach to preserving resources and ecology. Opting for products that are imperfect but just as tasty helps to limit losses and encourage sensible production. Many local initiatives, such as anti-gaspi baskets, allow consumers to pick up fruit and vegetables that don't meet supermarket standards, but are just as good and nutritious as those you might find on the shelves of your supermarket.
Favouring short circuits: an effective solution
Short distribution channels are one of the most effective ways of supporting local farmers. By reducing the number of intermediaries, producers benefit from better remuneration, while consumers have access to fresh seasonal produce, often at lower prices.
Short distribution channels cover a range of distribution methods: direct farm sales, markets, farmers' markets AMAP (Associations pour le Maintien d'une Agriculture Paysanne) or dedicated online sales platforms. Each of these solutions makes it possible to’establish a direct link between producers and consumers, This will promote a better understanding of agricultural issues and greater transparency about the origin of products.
By buying directly from the farm, at markets or via specialist platforms, everyone can help to preserve the local agricultural fabric and encourage more responsible consumption. This proximity to producers also allows consumers to discover new varieties of fruit and vegetables that are often overlooked by supermarkets, but which are rich in taste and nutrients. Parsnips, Jerusalem artichokes and pâtisons are perfect examples of these forgotten varieties, which are nonetheless real gustatory and nutritional treasures.
