Should we buy green beans from Kenya?

Green beans from Naivasha, Kenya? Vegpro has six farms in Kenya. It grows beans at Naivasha, north of Nairobi. Transport: air freight Nairobi to London; road in Kenya and UK Price: £1.40 for 200g Season: June to March, mainly for export to Europe.

…or from Worcestershire, UK? Norchard Farm, Worcestershire is in the Midlands of England Images © John Hopkin/Geographical Association Transport: by road in UK Price: £1.25 for 300g Season: June/July to October for sale in the UK.

Investigating green beans: Big question: Should people in the UK buy green beans from Kenya? Ideas for debate and critical thinking ‘It is better to buy beans grown in the UK. Flying beans in from Kenya is a lot of food miles. This uses a lot of energy and adds to climate change’. ‘Growing beans for sale in the UK creates jobs for Kenyan farmers. They have a regular income, which benefits people’s families and the community there’. ‘In Europe, some vegetables are grown in heated greenhouses in winter. This uses more energy than flying food from Africa to Europe’.
