The localness of our food is critically important for building a region that is resilient to climate change, reflects the local farm landscape we love and value, and provides a more reliable food supply chain.<\/p>\n<p>Community education about the myriad benefits of eating local and supporting a regional food system is the foundational work of the Southcoast Food Policy Council. We all may have a general sense of the benefits of eating local &#8211; healthier diet, safer consumption, nutrient dense foods, social responsibility and local impact &#8211; but often the ease of running to the nearest grocery can overshadow these positive benefits, regardless of our best intentions.
