'I'll be living off vegetables' - people fear rising food costs
Rising food costs are causing concern for people like Valerie George in Gloucester, who fears she may soon only afford a diet of vegetables due to high prices. Inflation is at 3.8%, with food inflation at 5.1%, leading to worries about affordability. Partnerships like the one between Gloucestershire County Council and Feeding Gloucestershire are working to address food inequality and provide support to those struggling with increasing costs.
