It’s time to GO LOCAL! In our current food system, we spend 15 calories of energy (burning fossil fuels in transport and production) to get 1 calorie worth of food.
Our quick-fix, want it now attitude is having a huge impact on the health of the planet and the local economy (not to mention our health).
By supporting local growers we reduce ‘food miles’, eat healthier food and boost our local economy. We could create 50 000 jobs in Ontario if we ate like we did in 1970.
Join the Local Food Movement and start buying local. Also get a better understanding of where it all comes from - visit a local farm with FIELD TRIP this summer.
