A while ago I saw somewhere on the sustainability/edible gardening part of the net I hang out in something that said:

• If you can, grow it yourself
• If you can’t grow it yourself, buy local
• If you can’t buy local, buy organic

I can’t find it to point to, so instead I’ll link out to the 100 mile diet, and this on Relocalise.net  :)

There are many good reasons to eat homegrown, local or organic (including taste – homegrown sweetcorn beats the sweetcorn from the market, and the market sweetcorn beats the supermarket corn hands down), but my reasons are sustainability and peak oil.
