Nourishing Ourselves through Our Food Choices
Since the 1970s, the increase of multi-national food companies
has increased the size of not only farms but the overall food system. During
this same time period, a slow and steady movement of small farms began selling
a variety of products to local communities, building relationships, and
changing purchasing habits. With these changes in our food systems, people's
eating habits and grocery choices have also changed. A number of terms can now
be used for describing our diets today-from locavore, to a low-carbon diet, to
slow food, or local.
