Local Food Can Save The World
We can change the world from the bottom up, starting with where we get our food. Let’s move from destructive, industrial monocultures to diversified, local, community-driven systems.
- Watch now -
Watch our 2-minute video highlighting the importance of shortening the distance between consumers and producers. By doing so, we structurally encourage diversity on the farm – which in turn means greater productivity, more local livelihoods, more nutritious food and healthier ecosystems. At the same time, localized food economies massively reduce chemical pollution, plastic packaging, and CO2 emissions. They are a win-win-win.
