‘Eat local’ is a recommendation we hear often with regard to our #climate impact, but while well intentioned, it’s often misguided.

Most agricultural emissions come from land use changes & processes at the farm. While local #food *can* benefit the climate, it all depends on what we’re consuming, where in the world we are (is it energy intensive to grow/raise in the region?) & how it was produced.

Personally, I still like to eat locally when it benefits farms & other businesses in my community.

@Sheril We have it alllllllll wrong here in Australia. Just about every European city has a farmers market, one or two days a week. The produce is direct from farm to market. No supermarket duopoly...(just the feuding Aldi brothers) It's fresh, it's cheap and it's plentiful....In France, Germany and Spain...it's a from of art!
