By buying local, organic food, you look after farmers, and help to avoid waste and the climate emergency, while also caring for your health and the planet.

In Barcelona, there are a lot of places selling local, organic produce, which have a positive effect on the region, where you can fill your shopping basket sustainably. Why not ask where these sales points are?
