Get Acquainted With The Locals

When you do eat out in restaurants, ordering local wines and specialties not only reduces food miles but also helps protect local farmers from large foreign suppliers. The Food First/Institute for Food and Development Policy, points out that 50% of the world's poor are small farmers who cannot compete with competition from cheap, mass-produced and imported food.

You can find restaurants in the U.S.A. that use local farmers' products by visiting www.dinegreen.com
