Farmer’s son Chris Loder MP has tabled an amendment (New Clause 28) to the Environment Bill which would require food miles be listed on products to make environmentally conscious decisions about food purchases.

The amendment would ensure food packaging states the food miles travelled, defined as the distance travelled from the country or, in the case of domestically produced food, the region of origin.

The amendment also allows provision for a similar type of colour coding to that we see on the nutritional information on food – green would mean low food miles, amber would be medium, and red would indicate a long distance travelled.
