Healthy, Local Food
Buying food
Producing food will always require resources, but its impacts can be minimized. As you plan meals, start to integrate living green ideas into your menus.
Eating local food
In the Midwest, most fresh fruits and vegetables travel an average of 1,500 miles before they are sold by your grocer. You can reduce transportation impacts by purchasing local foods or growing your own.
Consider organics
Minnesota is home to more than 500 certified organic farms and 175 certified organic processing operations.
