Manufacturers, retailers, caterers and public sector representatives will this month discuss setting up a sustainable food centre for London, which might include processing and warehousing.
Dan Keech, a project officer at the Sustain alliance for better food and farming which has proposed the investment, said that the centre would handle food from the regions, as well as sustainable exotic imports.
"We feel that there is a gap in the infrastructural services and support services, said Keech. A Sustain meeting on February 9 will consider a study by Professor John Whitelegg of Eco-Logica. No cost has been put onto the project.
