The Cost of Our Long Distance Food System Static Preview

Food is available without regard to place or season and the costs of this long distance food system are discussed. Globalization complicates our food supply even further - over half of our fresh fruit in 2006 was imported with limited testing.  This is a threat to our health and security. Industrialized approach to agriculture is heavily dependent on fossil fuels. We need to move back to a sustainabile model of agriculture.
