Extract from text:
Another activity like promoting cooking with fair food which is very often also local food, educational activities – community projects like food garden. We try to educate people and try to change their attitude to buy more local products. Each project has the same goal of education. For example, if children are targeted (e.g. through School Gardens), it is easier to convince the parents to buy local.
