Jenny Jones, chair of London Food, says, "People are increasingly concerned about issues surrounding the environmental and social effects of food and are ready to do something about it. The grants will encourage businesses and consumers to buy fresher, healthier and more affordable food while reducing the environmental impact of London's current food supply."

Ben Reynolds at London Food Link, adds, "This is a great opportunity for London's community groups and small food businesses to put on events that really connect local people with where their food comes from, how it is grown and the personalities who work to make it fresh and affordable."
