We are all aware that our planet needs our help right now, but we often feel unsure about what to do, where to make an effort, and what will really help. The good news is that we can help to heal the planet on a daily basis simply by buying and eating food that is grown locally. Food that has been transported long distances doesn’t contain much life force by the time it gets to your kitchen. Making a commitment to shop, buy and eat locally is not only a very important part of creating positive change, it can also be delicious fun.

Some of the best places to begin the adventure of eating locally are farmer’s markets, farm shops and local independent shops. Stalls brim with fresh fruits and vegetables grown on nearby farms, produce made locally like cheese, sausages and pies. Locally produced milk and meat always taste so much better whilst reducing the distance it has to come to you. Not only is this good for the environment, it’s good for the farmers and producers since they benefit from selling directly to the consumer. The consumer benefits, too, from the intimate experience of buying food from the hand of the person who grew it or produced it. In addition, the food is fresher and more diverse. In supermarkets, particular varieties of fruits and vegetables are favoured due to their ability to survive transport to a far destination. Alternately, locally you will find versions of the fruits and vegetables you know that will surprise and delight your senses—green striped heirloom tomatoes, purple cauliflower, white carrots, and edible flowers, just to name a few.

Make an effort to buy as much of your food as possible directly from local farmers and producers. You will become one of a growing number of people eating delicious food to save the planet and having fun doing it.
