Why?
Reduce carbon footprint because food travels a lot more than we know
organic foods will reduce carbon emissions and replenish soil nutrients
energy in packaging is less when grown locally due to reduce amount of packaging
food is 25% of our carbon footprint
Local food trading can significantly reduce carbon emission
- cheap way to eat healthy, and locally
CSA community supported agriculture
Farmers Markets: may not be actually locally grown or organic, must be careful
Free range: animals are allowed to roam freely, and therefore produce healthier meat and eggs
Must do research on companies which we buy from because even if they say it's "green" it may just be a marketing scheme.
