Michael Pollen: Why Eat Local?

This short video gives a great insight into the benefits of eating locally. Not only does local food taste good, it supports local farmers and reduces the impact on global warming.

As Pollen puts perfectly, “There’s a wonderful bumper sticker in New York called ‘Eat Your View’, and the premise is that if you don’t support these agricultural landscapes are you they will be sprawled, they will be covered with houses and highways and shopping malls… and the way to keep them open is to eat from the farms that constitute that view”.

Keep posted for more on how to encourage your local community through food!

    This is an excellent video! It really puts perspective on how much energy is expended just transporting foods to our homes. It makes it hard to understand why people still continue to purchase imported products. We need to create an effective way of distributing local produce to people living in high density living areas! Perhaps by making it more accessible and cheaper, people will purchase Australian grown produce over imported products.
