Support Local Food Systems
#4 Plant-Rich Diet
I will source 50 percent of my food from local producers each day. This could include signing up for a local CSA, buying from a farmer's market, visiting a food co-op, foraging with a local group, or growing my own ingredients.

Learn the Truth About Expiration Dates

REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Support Local Food SystemsDependable fresh food, supporting local farmers and building resilient communities are just a few benefits of local food systems. Which of these (or other) advantages inspire you the most?
Jennifer Pettigrew 4/04/2019 10:20 PMSupporting the local economy is super important. I’d rather give my money to an honest person with a family owned farm than a big company that keeps things from their consumers. Additionally, safer methods of pest controlis far more abundant at private farms, which doesn’t cause pollution like big company farms do.
