Is It better to eat locally or eat differently?

A recent article in the journal Environmental Science and Technology compares the impacts on greenhouse gas emissions associated with eating local foods vs. changing what one chooses to eat. Their findings may surprise you! Link here.

Thanks to local farmers in this part of Maine, we have the opportunity to choose both what we eat and where it comes from. I'm looking forward to the publication of the local food guide which will make it easier to find out who is producing what foods in our area.
