    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?

    Being able to have a positive microeconomic impact on the livelihood of local farmers in Houston really inspires me. Also, knowing I could play a small part in creating a sustainable and green environment by eating non- processed foods that dont generate massive amounts of waste.. Then on a more personal level.. Its comforting knowing I could be filling my body with only naturally grown healthy foods.

      Well said!  I agree, it is great to start by focusing on what motivates you, and use that to continue learning and growing along the way 🙂
