Good Food,
Good Farming
Eating sustainably produced food is not only good for ourselves but also for the environment. Here at Friends of the Earth Malta we believe in supporting sustainable agriculture and eating seasonal fresh fruit and vegetables that have been produced by local, small-scale farmers.
Sustainable farming supports nature and biodiversity and safeguards our rural land. If we are to be true sovereigns of our food systems, we must work with farmers and demand more from policymakers. Let’s say YES to good food and good farming!

What’s in season?
Local fruit and veg are picked fresh throughout the seasons, that is why they are packed with flavour and are more nutritious. Short travelling distances mean that carbon footprint is at a minimal. Buying local produce supports our farmers and preserves our rural landscape, and moreover the carbon footprint is tiny since they are not travelling from all over the globe. Eating local and seasonal couldn’t be yummier with these delicious recipes, posted each month so that you can try out these simple culinary delights.

Join Our Bee Cause
Bees are essential to us humans and yet they are under threat. Our food and economy depend heavily on bees pollinating most of our fruit and vegetables. Without bees we’re in trouble and we need to take action now, for the sake of people and wildlife. Visit our Bee Cause page to learn more about how you can help bees to thrive.
