Bringing consumers together to keep local food in business
Ethical purchasing groups, known as GAS (Gruppi di Acquisto Solidale) first appeared in Italy in the 1990s. GAS are groups of consumers who purchase collectively and directly from producers who are chosen on the basis of sustainable production principles. GAS groups were born from the desire to build a healthy economy from the bottom up where ethics were worth more than the profit and quality was more important than quantity.
