Did you know? The average meal travels 2400km to reach your plate. Eat Responsibly. Eat Sustainably. Eat Locally. The Food Miles Challenge will help examine the environmental costs of getting out food from across the planet and how we can serve up a plate of local foods in style. Climate Change is forcing us all to examine our lifestyle and how it effects the planet. The Food Miles Challenge hopes to make its contribuition to reduce emissions and air pollution caused by transportation of food over great distances through the support of farmer's markets and by helping Carleton County Schools develop a local foods menu for their cafeterias.
We are also encourage you to take a look at some recipe suggestions for inspiration in the eat local campaign. Why not take a watermelon salad on your next picnic or try a delicious rhubarb crisp for an after dinner treat.
