LOCAL SUSTAINABLE FOOD CHAIN

BUY LOCAL TO KEEP MONEY LOCAL

• Only 18 cents of every dollar spent on industrial 
• food goes to the farmer. The other 88 cents go
• to unnecessary middlemen. 
• Buying locally cuts out the middleman and gives
• the farmer the entire amount they deserve.

LOCAL FARMS ARE WASTELESS

• There are no pesticides, no artificial
• fertilizer, no pollution, and no extra waste.
• All the energy used comes from the sun
• and everything is recycled.

The Other Side

• Some may say that the industrial food chain
• is the cheapest way to mass produce food.
• However, the cost to the environment greatly
• outweighs the cheaper price. Local farms have
• almost no waste and are mostly self-sustainable

The best food chain to feed our country is local sustainable. Buying local keeps money in the hands of farmers.
