Food and Sustainability Issues

When buying food from a typical store it is likely that you don’t know exactly where it came from, it is also likely that if you did know then you would not want to buy it. One way the people of Jacksonville North Carolina solve this problem is by buying food from a local farmers market. The food is grown and harvested locally so it is fresher and healthier than many foods found in a typical store. Aside from benefitting themselves the people who chose to shop at the farmers market are supporting their local economy and not the huge food industries that are supplying us with less sufficient food.
