More Than a Mile: What America Needs from Local Food

By Nicholas R. Carter

There is a movement growing in America around the idea of Local Food. But the term "Local Food" is inconsistently used and poorly defined. The movements' adherents struggle to find any orthodoxy against which they can test new offers. Can I eat Tyson chicken if I'm an Arkansas resident? Is the chocolate shop local if cocoa is sourced from another continent? And do I betray the tenets of the Local Food movement if I buy organic foods, grown sustainably, in another state? In this book, Nick Carter aims to define a term that has existed loosely in America's vernacular for over a decade. Once we understand the problems that Americans have so desperately hoped that Local Food could solve, we can begin to achieve the solutions that we desperately need.
