10 Ways to Support Sustainable Urban Food

By on April 30, 2009 – No Comment

Wow, can’t believe I just discovered this fantastic site, CivilEats.com. I’m going back through all the posts, reading as much as I can. It’s beautifully designed, functional, and visually arresting. Makes me want to stay on the site all day. And the site is doing what I am doing, only a whole lot better.

Can’t wait to link to these guys in the future!

Here is one point they make, to read the rest, go here:

1. Start small and simple. Make things from scratch. Pick three actions to start now: for example, stop eating packaged foods, prepare your own food and cut out meat eating once a week. Compost. Plant and grow your own herbs and your favorite vegetables. Or, get clear on the origins of your favorite food (Do you eat burritos or pizza more than once a week? A deli sandwich? Or coffee? Sugar? Rice?) – where do the ingredients come from? How was it made? Harvested? Who harvests the ingredients and how is it processed? What’s the impact of your choice?
