Why is it better to eat food that is grown and harvested locally?
Over the past many decades, people have lost touch with not only how food is grown, but also with the knowledge of who actually grows it for us. There has been a disconnect from the importance of food and how it is raised.  By people participating more actively in our local food system, we can actually put the word “culture” back in agriculture. This idea benefits the entire community. Eating locally raised and harvested food not only reduces the need to transport food from afar (therefore reducing the use of fossil fuels), but it also keeps the dollars spent on food in the community. By supporting local farmers and organizations that are distributing/collecting local food, the community develops a more sustainable relationship with food.
