    I went to the grocery store yesterday and didn't realize my practice of reading labels had kicked in. I'm starting to find substitutes that are more healthier.

    Food, Agriculture, and Land Use
    Dependable fresh food, supporting local farmers and building resilient communities are just a few benefits of local food systems. Which of these (or other) advantages inspire you the most?

    I use the local farmers market in the neighbor, which not only fresh vegetable are available but also canned good where containers can be recycled.
