Of all the ways to help save the world, eating locally grown food might be the most fun—and certainly the most delicious! Our food has its own carbon footprint, and making that footprint as small as possible means less harm to the Earth. Eating locally often involves asking the right questions about the food that one has access to. This appealing volume shares these questions with readers as well as more thought-provoking information about food and crops and how they're distributed worldwide. Readers will feel empowered to make more thoughtful decisions about what’s on their plate.
