7% don’t have enough access to green spaces during the working week
44% of us vary our diet in spring more than any other month, according to new research. Where we dine also improves our mood with 67% saying eating and drinking al fresco makes food and drink taste better, according to the survey by Yeo Valley.
The research also found that 75% of Brits feel mentally lighter with the arrival of spring and 65% believe spending time in green space improves their mood in just 15 minutes.
But 37% don’t have enough access to green spaces during the working week, and 77% believe more green spaces in cities would help alleviate their stress levels. Yeo Valley Organic brought a mini meadow to London last week.
Verity Richardson from Yeo Valley Organic said: “Spring is when everything comes back to life on the farm. Our cows are out grazing on lush, organic pastures, full of natural diversity.
“We know many people want to eat more seasonally, but it’s not always easy to know where to start. By bringing a little piece of the Yeo Valley Organic founding farm from Somerset to the middle of London, we’re helping people reconnect with where their food comes from and experience just how good milk can taste when it’s produced in harmony with the seasons.”
