Food Miles: The Impact of Your Eating Habits

With our food system, food has to travel 100s if not 1000s of miles before it gets to your plate. Eating out of season, eating food that is not local to your region, and over eating can contribute to increasing food miles.

Eat produce from a country from 1000s of miles away uses a lot of resources to get to your plate. Eating locally and in season can help us reduce these food miles. In 2016, try to become more away of food miles in your own life.
