Organic or Local Food

Local food that is grown near to where it is consumed, so it has fewer 'food miles' that decrease freshness and increased shipping and other ecological impacts. Organic food is grown without pesticides (biocides), genetic modification or synthetic fertilizers. No chemicals or waxes are added after harvesting. Usually prepared in a way to maximize the nutritional value; may include fair trade or direct trade practices.
