Eat Local, Eat Real

DossiersSustainability Reloaded

Too good, not to share. A beautifully crafted animated infographic clearly making the point in favor of eating local produce, and illustrating the consequences of our globalized food industry. The video was produced by Canadian food movement mayonnaise brand: Hellmann’s

  1. Not sure Hellman’s is a “food movement” (it is a mayonnaise brand), but they sure have created one. Great infographic, indeed.

  2. The County of Huron is located on the west coast of Ontario. It produces more agricultural produces annually than the Maritime provinces all together. Recently a presentation was made to the Federal Agricultural Minister the Honourable Gerry Ritz’s Policy Advisor and the Provincial Minister of Agriculture, the Honourable Leona Dombrowsky. The message in the County of Huron’s presentation was exactly what is being said in the Hellmans Video. I am writing requesting permission to play this video in a County of Huron Council meeting. I believe the information contained in this video should reach more people and this would be one way to have this happen. I look forward to hearing from you.

    I think this is a great video.. We have a lot of the same problems in the Netherlands, but here we grow everything in greenhouses! (Seriously, It is very noticeable however that in winter food starts coming from further afield (please excuse the pun), i.e. from the middle east, africa etc. In the summer most of the vegetables are grown here, but still no decent fruit…
