What's a foodshed? Your local foodshed is:

The geographic area where you live and where your food is produced, distributed, sold, and eaten.

At Foodshed.org, we are advocates of locally and sustainably produced food. For over a decade we have provided mentor, training, creative, technical, organizational and support roles on sustainable food initiatives around the world.

Just a few benefits of eating locally and sustainably:

- Strengthens the local economy and community
- Foods are fresher and often have more flavor & nutrients
- The natural environment where you live becomes more diverse and healthy
