This report argues for the development of local food chains, which would bring the 'multiple dividend' of healthier diets, local markets for local producers, lower food miles and better understanding between producers and consumers. Barriers to the growth of local food chains include EU procurement regulations and UK local government legislation that prohibit explicit 'buy local' policies, health auditing conventions which neglect the health gains of nutritious food; catering cultures that are biased to a few large firms; tendering procedures that are too complex for small suppliers; and lack of logistical and marketing capacity on the part of local producers. Schools and hospitals should be the focus for a concerted local food campaign in the UK. A local food action plan is required to reform the regulatory regime, balance demand and supply, and make it easier for consumers, especially parents and children, to buy nutritious local food, including organic food. 2002-10 published Cardiff University The Regeneration Institute Andersson (2002) Personal Communication with Erén Andersson, Göteborg Environment Administration 22/07/02 Audit Commission (2001) Acute Hospital Portfolio – Catering: Review of National Findings, Audit Commission, London Bapen (2002a) In Touch, Issue 20, July / August 2002, from www.bapen.org.uk/pdfs/newsletters/bapen_news20.pdf Bapen (2002b) Press Release, July 2nd 2002, www.bapen.org.uk/pressrelease1.htm, July 2nd 2002.
