• Use sustainable practices: Many small food businesses adopt sustainable practices, such as organic farming, regenerative agriculture, and waste reduction.

• Provide fresh, high-quality food: By focusing on local, seasonal ingredients, these businesses can offer fresh, high-quality food products to their customers.

Support local communities: These businesses can help to revitalize local communities by creating jobs, attracting visitors, and contributing to the overall quality of life.
