About

    Local food production refers to the cultivation, harvesting, processing, and distribution of food within a specific geographic region. This practice aims to increase the availability of fresh, seasonal, and sustainably grown produce to consumers while reducing the environmental impact of transporting food long distances. Local food production often involves small-scale farms, community gardens, farmers' markets, and food cooperatives, and can help support local economies, promote food security, and foster a stronger connection between consumers and the source of their food. This research area explores various aspects of local food production, including its economic, environmental, and social impacts, as well as strategies for expanding and improving local food systems.
