Why eat "local"?
  • Its good for the environment. Local food doesnt
    have to travel as far to arrive on your plate, so
    it helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and
    contributes to improving our carbon footprint.
  • It benefits the local economy, including
    supporting local farmers and other producers.

3
Buying local food encourages sustainable
agriculture, and facilitates tracking the supply
chain back to the point of origin to evaluate
ecological practices.
4
Are local foods more nutritious?
  • There are several factors that influence the
    nutritive value of produce including crop
    variety, how it's grown, ripeness at harvest,
    storage, processing and packaging.

Produce such as broccoli, green beans, kale, red
peppers, tomatoes, apricots and peaches are
susceptible to nutrient loss when harvested and
transported from longer distances, while those
that are heartier such as apples, oranges,
grapefruit and carrots keep their nutrients even
if they travel long distances.
