FG Insight: The British Social Attitudes survey, which gathered responses from more than 2,000 members of the public, found 58 per cent trusted farmers, 34 per cent trust supermarkets and just 33 per cent trusted the Government. More than 80 per cent said it mattered the food they bought was healthy and 58 per cent felt it was important farmers and growers were paid a fair price. However, just 35 per cent thought it mattered the food was grown locally.
