Benefits of Farm-to-Table and Sustainable Foods
F
arm-to-table has become a popular national movement that encourages people to minimize the distance their food travels before it's
eaten by purchasing food directly from growers. Sustainable foods offer din ers a wide variety of choices when it comes to food, just as
long as it's in season. This not only includes fresh fruit and vegetables, but also meat, cheese and other dairy products, nuts and even
baked goods. Utilizing locally grown produce helps stimulate job creation by circulating more capital throughout the neighboring community.
Local food is more nutritious and an added benefit when you eat farm-to-table is that sustainably-raised food simply tastes better.
Join your neighborhood
experts on the second Wednes-
day of each month for these
health-minded talks, which are
held at eight UH locations. The
next Health Matters talk on
August 10 is "Benefits of Farm-
to-Table and Sustainable Foods."
Getting sustainable products
means they are at their peak
when most abundant and the
least expensive. Think about it,
produce can be picked when it
is ripest and has the most nutri-
tional value because it does not
have to travel far to reach the
consumer.
