Dependable fresh food, supporting local farmers and building resilient communities are just a few benefits of local food systems. Which of these advantages inspire you the most?

When i was a kid there was a lot of fruits (grapes, strawberries, watermelon etc.) that we only ate in-season. It tasted delicious and was a huge treat! I loved looking forward to the different seasons and binge eating grapes for 2 weeks!! As an adult i like knowing that seasonal food supports local farmers and reduces carbon through transportation.
