Lettuce Be Local

This week, we’re digging into the world of local food systems—because it turns out eating strawberries from down the road might be more revolutionary than you think. From farmers markets to rooftop farms, we’re exploring what it really means to eat local, why it matters for the environment and economy, and how cities are joining the movement in creative ways. Plus, we unpack what "food miles" are, why they’re trickier to calculate than you'd expect, and how high-income countries (yep, that’s us) might need a reality check on our out-of-season avocado habits. This is Part 1 of our locally sourced deep dive!
