There's No Such Thing as Local vs. Organic Food

From TreeHugger --
There is no reason to fight over which is better: local or organic; we should be certain our food is both. Organic food production can solve nearly half the world's carbon dioxide issues, if done correctly. Add that to locally grown purchases, and climate change may not be as insurmountable as previously thought.
A few ways to start combining local and organic food --
Food miles -- Consider how far food has travelled to make it to your kitchen.
Farmer's markets -- While not always organic, you can ask if there is no display conveying this.
Gardens -- Grow your own. Start small and you'll be sure not to get overwhelmed. Click here to find a community garden.
