The Local food movement is a wonderful movement, it allows you to eat healthier, fresher food. Fresh vegetables are always more enjoyable. The food movement promotes healthier eating. When vegetables or fruits are shipped. They are often picked before they are ripe. This results in lost of some of their nutrients. The local food movement promotes buying from you local farmer markets or directly from farms.
When I grew up, at our home, we always had fresh vegetables. Potatoes, cucumbers, watermelons, tomatoes, squash, onions, peas, peppers, corn. Additionally we had peach, apple and pear trees, and concord grapevines. It made me more aware of when fruit and vegetables are in season. In season, meaning the natural time of the year when fruit or vegetables grow in your area. For example apples are ripe in September.
Knowledge is power, environmentally it is important to know what going on with the food you eat and purchase. People do not always know where their food originated from. In place of employment my knowledge can be shared.
This blog will continually review the local food movement. It will be interesting to view the local food movement effects, it will have on larger, inner cities. Where growing gardens and buying local may not exist.

Vanessa, you've picked an issue to investigate with many research sources to tap into. Most likely, you'll face the challenge of sifting through all the available material and choosing the best and most interesting research to respond to. You're already heading in the right direction by thinking through a specific angle of the local movement: the effects (or even reality) of the movement on larger, inner cities. You may even want to hone in on a particular large city in your research. I'm looking forward to seeing your research unfold!
ReplyDeleteHello Vanessa,I have talked about this topic before and it is a very broad topic. It has many researches to look for so you might want to focus on three or more specific elements to talk about to make it more interesting beside its healthier and better for us to use. for example; should restaurants use local farm products. the difference between local food and the food we buy from the store. the difference of prices also for each one. focusing on elements like this will defiantly make it a good topic. good luck!
