The food we eat nourishes us and gives us energy to live. The food we eat also needs energy to be grown, raised, transported, and stored. There are many factors that play a part in determining the environmental consequenses of food. One factor that can have quite an impact is where our food comes from. Was it raised locally, or did it travel great distances to get to us?
