"Do you want to reduce the carbon footprint of your food?
Focus on what you eat, not whether your food is local
For most food products, transport accounts for less than 10% of GHG emissions
(In beef from beef herds, it's 0.5%)
Eating local beef or lamb has many times the carbon footprint of most other foods. Whether they are grown locally or shipped from the other side of the world matters very little for total emissions. "
