If the many social, environmental and economic crises facing the
planet are to be resolved, a good place to start is to rebuild
local food economies. Food is something everyone, everywhere, needs
every day, so even small changes in the way it is produced and
marketed can offer immense benefits. This title shows how a shift
towards the local would protect and rebuild agricultural diversity.
It would give farmers a bigger share of the money spent on food,
and provide consumers with healthier, fresher food at more
affordable prices. It would reduce transport, greenhouse gas
emissions and the need for toxic agricultural chemicals. It would
lessen the need for storage, packaging, refrigeration and
artificial additives, and it would help revitalize rural economies
and communities in both the industrialized and the developing
world.
