Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Have you ever shopped for fruits, vegetables, or meat at a local farmers' market? Or maybe your family picks up a weekly box of fresh fruits and vegetables grown by local farmers in a community supported agriculture (CSA) program. So what does it mean to eat local, why is it a good idea, and how can you participate in your own community?
Includes bibliographical references (page 63) and index.
