🌿 How far has your food traveled? Every meal tells a story. But sometimes, that story is longer than it should be. From distant farms, across highways and oceans, to your plate — food often travels thousands of kilometers, increasing pollution, waste, and prices. What if we could shorten that journey? ➡️ Support local farmers. ➡️ Choose seasonal and nearby food. ➡️ Think about the real cost behind every bite. 🌍 Because when food travels less, our planet breathes more. What are your thoughts? Do you try to eat local whenever possible? 💭 #GreenLogisticsMonday #SustainableFood #LocalFood #ShortSupplyChains #FoodForThought #Sustainability #GARDENproject
