Just over half of Scottish shoppers say they would like to see a dedicated aisle in shops for sustainably sourced foods.
Aberdeenshire businesses are putting together care packages for people in the community.
Toilet roll, soap, milk, pasta, soup, sanitiser, bread and tissues make up the small bags from Shorty’s Ice Cream parlour in Ballater.
The care packages reflect a community effort, with The Ballater Milk Man, The Paper Shop in Tarland, Tarland Pharmacy, Ballater Pharmacy and the Ballater Co-op all helping with the efforts.
Owner Cheryl Barr said: “Instead of sitting at home getting more and more irate at the current situation of the supermarkets I have decided to do something about it as we have some of the stock to do so.
“These are aimed towards the most vulnerable of our community in Ballater and Tarland.
“The people that are not able to get out to the shops to get their own or aren’t able to get to the shops before the masses clear the shelves.”
