sustainablogger discovered 16 months ago- From the page: "What on earth are food miles? They are the distance that your food travels from the grower to your plate, including travel to and from processor and retailer. Why should I want to reduce them? Because transporting your food long distances involves lorries and aeroplanes. And lorries and aeroplanes use lots of fuel and emit tons of CO2 emissions, contributing to global warming. But thatâ€s just the starting point. Other reasons why we should be reducing food miles wherever possible include wanting to eat fresher food, in season; supporting local and regional producers and the economy; and preventing 3rd world countries from cutting down forests and losing their own food, because big companies see food as a commodity, rather as a way to feed the people of that country."
