Agriculture Discussion Forum

We are lucky yo live in an agriculture state. California grows the majority of the United States almonds, garlic, wine grapes, strawberries, avocados, lettuce (just to name a few).

Transportation of agricultural products is a large contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. Reducing the distance food supplies have to travel to get to market can greatly reduce emissions. Buying locally grow food can significantly reduce your carbon footprint. Personally, I love my hometown craft beers from Colorado, such as New Belgium & Wibby Brewing Company, but I buy local California beer, such as Lagunitas, to help reduce my carbon footprint.
