Wondering whether it’s worth it to splurge on the locally raised beef? What about those organic carrots? New in the Chelsea Green Guides series, Sustainable Food: How to Buy Right and Spend Less helps the average shopper navigate the choices, whether strolling the aisles of a modern supermarket or foraging at a local farmers market.

This down-to-earth, casual guide—small enough to be slipped into your pocket—answers these and other questions for the shopper:

What are the differences among organic, local, fair-trade, free-range, naturally raised, and biodynamic foods?
How affordable is it to subscribe to a CSA farm—and what are the advantages?
Is it better to choose wild Alaskan salmon at $18.99, or the Chilean farmed fish at $11.99?
What cooking oils can be sustainably sourced?
How can a food co-op increase access to, and affordability of, healthier, Earth-friendly foods?
Where can you find sustainably produced sugar, and are there any local replacements for sweeteners from faraway lands?
What do the distinctions between shade-grown and trellised coffee mean?
Is shark okay to eat? How about mackerel?
Why is the war on plastic bags so important?

Sustainable eating just got easier.

Цитати

  • Olya Shuralevaцитирапреди 5 години
    anything labeled “100% Organic” must contain less than 5 percent nonorganic material, while the “organic” label mandates at least 90 percent organic ingredients, and “Made with Organic Ingredients” requires 70 percent organic ingredients
  • Olya Shuralevaцитирапреди 5 години
    Organic foods, including fruits, vegetables, grains, meat, milk, and cheeses, have been produced without the use of chemical pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. Removing these largely petroleum-based inputs from the food chain fights global warming, reverses soil degradation, and produces healthier, more sustainable foods.
