Tentang eBook ini

Local Food Movement examines the rising trend of prioritizing locally sourced food, probing its potential to reshape communities and ecosystems. It delves into the economic viability of local farms, the environmental consequences of food transportation, and the social implications of community-supported agriculture. A key insight is the need for a multi-faceted approach to overcome barriers like access to capital and regulatory hurdles which often impede the growth of local food systems. The book challenges the assumption that large-scale, globally integrated food systems are inherently more efficient, highlighting how supporting local alternatives can foster resilience and sustainability.

It begins by defining ""local"" and exploring various production and distribution models. The book then progresses through an analysis of the economic impacts, environmental aspects (like comparing carbon footprints), and social dimensions of local food, illustrating the potential for stronger connections between consumers and producers.

Ultimately, Local Food Movement provides a balanced assessment, acknowledging both the benefits and limitations of local food systems. By drawing on economic data, environmental impact assessments, and sociological studies, the book offers practical strategies and policy recommendations for strengthening local food economies and promoting sustainable agriculture.
