Industrial food feeds the world but it ships with hidden costs
Nutrient Loss
'Fresh' spinach? It loses 94% of its vitamin C after just 7 days in transit.
Environmental Cost
Transport accounts for 19% food system emissions and industrial farming degrades our soil.
Calories In, Money Out
Dollars spent on industrial food fuel stock markets. Dollars spent close to home do a lot more good than that.

StoriesfromtheMovement
Real people sharing how local food changed their lives, farms, and communities
Sarah Chen
Mother of Two, Seattle
"Since we started buying from our local farm share, my kids actually eat their vegetables now. The carrots are so sweet they think they're candy! But more than that, we know where our food comes from and my daughter loves visiting 'her' chickens at the farm."
Miguel Rodriguez
Organic Farmer, Yakima Valley
"Five years ago, we were barely surviving selling to distributors. Now with our CSA and farmers market customers, we're thriving. These direct relationships saved our farm and let us focus on what we do best—growing the healthiest food possible."
Dr. Emily Foster
Soil Scientist, University of Washington
"Local food systems using regenerative practices aren't just better for nutrition—they're literally rebuilding the soil ecosystem that feeds us all. Every dollar spent locally supports farming methods that can reverse decades of soil degradation."
