Why buy Sustainable foods?
Sustainable foods consider the impact on the environment and animal, a fair wage for the farmer, and the nutritional value for the consumer.
Sustainable food products include organic, fair trade, and local. All of these products are produced using practices that support the basic principle of sustainable food: the needs of the present are met without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs and maintains a steady supply without exhausting natural resources or causing severe ecological damage.
