Food co-op
Food co-ops are a way of buying fresh, locally grown food for less money. Community-based food co-ops can make it easier for people on low incomes, or those living in areas with few shops, to access more affordable fruit and vegetables. Sustain have produced an online resource, ‘the Food Co-ops Toolkit’, that explains how to start one up.
