The Good Consumer

The Global Farm

Available for over a year

What's the difference between a consumer and a citizen? Research suggests many of us talk in an environmentally conscious way outside the supermarket, then turn into ruthless bargain hunters once we're inside. Charlotte Smith ends her look at global food value chains by exploring how we shop, and how much influence we have over where our food comes from. Producer: Chris Ledgard.
