Description
By the time it's been grown, processed, and distributed, most food in the 21st-century global food economy has traveled an average of 1,500 miles before reaching the plate. As renowned author Michael Pollan elaborates, the effects of this fossil fuel-driven system are detrimental to the environment, to health, and to social well-being. Writer Michael Shuman argues for investing in local food systems.
