New Poll Shows Public Back Farmers Vs Supermarkets

A new opinion poll conducted on behalf of Friends of the Earth shows that the majority of the British public believe that supermarkets are exploiting their power over food producers. They also say that supermarkets should make more effort to sell locally produced goods that are more environmentally friendly.
Supermarkets justify their actions, such as importing goods from abroad, by saying that they are acting to satisfy consumer demands, but this survey exposes that hollow justification - 84% of those questioned think that supermarkets should sell UK grown products in preference to imported products when in season.
