Text of the page (random words):
ood shed i shop at farmers markets when i can and look for tri state food in the supermarket the real spirit of local doesn t mean just measuring your food miles especially for those items that my community can t grow locally for instance my morning cup of coffee may not be local but when i buy fair trade certified coffee i know that my food dollar supported communities and didn t just line the pockets of a ceo what s your definition of sustainable i used to have a chip on my shoulder about the word sustainable most people on this planet don t want to sustain where they are they re struggling they want change not the status quo but i ve come to see that the term sustainable can be aspirational too it doesn t mean resigning ourselves to what is it means working toward a vision of a world in which the values of fairness community and environmental stewardship are all respected in this way i think of sustainability as a process not a place it s not easy to achieve but is a powerful goal to reach toward sustainability takes on special meaning in an era of global warming sustainability is no longer optional the fate of our planet depends on it and food will play a huge role in either helping us move toward sustainability and lower greenhouse gas emissions or by making our crisis worse you can learn more about the connection between our food system and climate change at this special primer page i ve created with sustainable table when you think of local sustainable and community how would you rank the three from most important to least and why i often hear a version of this question when i m speaking to audiences and they ask okay so which is it should we choose organic or local in an ideal word we wouldn t have to make this choice in an ideal world our elected officials wouldn t sanction the use on our nation s farmland of man made chemicals that are known endocrine disrupters neurotoxins or carcinogens but well we don t live in an ideal world given that reality when posed with the hypothetical local vs organic head to head i encourage people to choose local food from family farms those farms may not be organic now but they may soon transition particularly with customer support and encouragement but i can guarantee you that if those farms disappear as many thousands do every year we ll lose that farmland forever and never have a chance to have local or organic food at all what s one thing people can do to be more local and sustainable there is so much we can do i hate to boil it down to one thing so i ll cheat and give you two ideas one that s really specific and one that s big picture first if you don t already go to your local farmers market or become a member of a community support agriculture farm this site has lots of resources to make these choices this is one of your best ways to connect with farm fresh food and get to know the people behind your local food system the second suggestion is much more vague and really quite simple follow your passion there is so much work that needs to be done on the path toward sustainability whether it s starting community gardens working with schools to bring in healthy foods fighting for farmer friendly policy educating yourself about genetically modified foods learning about the connections between the food system and climate change or simply cooking more whatever specific act you choose to do you will be aligning yourself with the millions across the globe walking on the path of sustainability posted by anna lappe at 8 55 am labels local food organics industry

sustainability report card for colleges posted by anna lappe at 5 10 pm tuesday february 26 2008 that s what i m talking about it was exciting to get an e mail from my younger brother today about this hearing on capitol hill about food and climate change called food for thought a primer on the climate consequences of food choices i look forward to listening to the presentations but in the meantime i ve got to say i was struck by the factoids they chose to use in the press release here s what i mean in comparison to the impacts of automobiles power plants and other major contributors to global warming the press releases says agriculture and food issues are only just starting to be fully understood then they share these four points a 1999 british study showed that the purchase of local apples resulted in an almost 3 000 percent reduction in energy use and 87 percent lower carbon dioxide emissions than apples imported from new zealand produce in the u s travels on average 1 300 2 000 miles from farm to consumer a 2006 international solid waste foundation study predicted that by 2025 food waste will increase by 44 worldwide when food waste rots it releases methane a greenhouse gas that is 20 times more potent than carbon dioxide the environmental protection agency has estimated that landfills account for 34 percent of all methane emissions in the united states what s striking to me about these four points is that together they sidestep the significant research on the biggest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions from the food sector livestock if you don t know already that s livestock is one of the largest factors in the food system s climate change impact with food transportation those long distance apples being a relatively smaller portion of the sector s overall emissions when you include land use changes driven by the demand for crop and grazing land the production of manmade chemicals and fertilizers for feed crops and the methane emitted mainly from ruminants like cattle you find that 18 of the globe s total greenhouse gas emissions can be connected back to livestock see for instance the comprehensive united nation s report livestock s long shadow or the humane society s excellent white paper on the subject i know i know it s just the press release the hearing isn t up yet for viewing and i should just be glad that this issue that has been swept under the rug for so long is getting attention and i certainly certainly am but we ve certainly got a lot more work to do thankfully i m hearing from colleagues around the country that they

cruelty caught on tape by a humane society investigation at a california slaughterhouse i personally couldn t stomach to watch it whether you saw the video or not you most certainly have heard the response prompted by public outcry the company that processed meat from this slaughterhouse issued the largest beef recall in u s history even though oops much of the 143 million pounds recalled has already been eaten including possibly by children in school lunches the animal cruelty was disturbing enough what it revealed about possible threats to human health adds even more reason to be wary of

it is a fact says monsanto maybe you ve been following the news about legislation popping up in states across the country to ban labeling dairy products that are free of monsanto s synthetic growth hormone interchangeably called rbst or rbgh now call me old fashioned but i still believe in that quaint idea of freedom of speech and freedom of choice we should have the right to know how our food was made and be able to choose whether we want to eat it or not so far the efforts to ban hormone free labeling have stalled in pennsylvania legislation passed that would have banned hormone free labeling but it was rescinded after significant citizen protest and indiana lawmakers pulled the legislation to ban such labeling there but there are murmurings that other states will see the introduction of similar legislation soon so who s behind these efforts to ban hormone free labeling would it surprise you to hear it s the company that makes the synthetic hormone monsanto in the latest public relations twist a new outfit called american farmers for the advancement of conservation of technology supposedly voices the concern of farmers who support the bans on labeling hormone free dairy products but dig a little deeper and you ll find that the organization s website www itisafact org was registered to susan williams of osborn barr communications a brand management company whose clients include monsanto in other words american farmers for the advancement of conservation of technology is a classic front group it sounds and looks like a megaphone for real farmers when in fact it was created and is funded by monsanto in the media though the organization has been identified only with a slight qualification that it is backed by monsanto lisa rathke of the associated press for instance quoted carrol campbell a kansas dairy farmer who co chairs the group there s no question that rbst is safe that s what s so frustrating to us that there are organizations out there that would indicate that it s something other than safe rathke s ap article was picked up widely from the trentonian to msn com money to the nashua telegragh to the guardian uk if you were reading it you couldn t be blamed for thinking that the organization was a legitimate expression of farmer concern and not what it is a front group for a multinational company concerned about losing market share

on ad outlays for the first time in history hit the billion dollar mark kraft not one to skimp also spent a little more than 1 billion in advertising up 10 million from the year before one billion dollars what can that buy you a lot and apparently a lot of advertising what it certainly doesn t buy us consumers is cheaper prices in that same brandweek article about the ballooning ad budgets we learn that both kraft and kellogg are increasing their prices a connection well not according to the article which blames those higher prices on the company s effort to offset rising materials costs maybe i m missing something here kellogg s advertising outlays are 12 percent of their overall budget for kraft it s closer to 7 percent don t you think that these companies are spending a good chunk
