2.2 Local food

Choosing organic food is a great start, but eating mainly plant-based foods that are in season and produced as locally to you as possible is one of the best ways in which you can really reduce the negative impact of your food choices.

A community in Fife has received global attention for their collective efforts to eat mainly foods within a 100 mile radius of their homes, and the writer Barbara Kingsolver has documented her family's attempt to do the same in the USA. Find out more about the Fife diet from BBC Radio 4's The Food Programme and the Fife diet blog.
