How does eating locally grown food help our climate (people and the environment)?

Students will evaluate the benefits of buying locally grown food (fresher, less fossil fuels wasted, support local farmers).

Students will understand how a farmers' market helps a community.

Students will analyze a website that promotes bringing local foods into schools.
