Eating locally isn't that far away from us. There is a restaurant serving Local Food, running by Oliver Rowe.
"We have covered the 100 mile diet, where Alisa Smith and J.B. MacKinnon are spending a year eating food from within a hundred miles of their home. Restaurateur Oliver Rowe is taking the concept to a whole new level- he is opening up a restaurant where every ingredient comes from within the M25, a ring road around London. He is making his own oil from local rapeseed (canola) as an olive oil substitute; has found a local sparking wine, , flour ground in Ponders End and honey produced in Tower Hill. "I have found a mushroom farm in East Ham, fish from the Thames, a fantastic farm with lamb and pigs at Amersham and an ostrich farm in south-west London." He cheats a bit- coffee, tea and pepper; Salt is from Essex. Currently Oliver runs a popular pub called Konstam (in picture)- Konstam at the Prince Albert opens next month. Evening Standard"
This website is a to promote 100 miles diet and they have some videos to watch. People are sharing how they do their 100 miles diet with low CO2 emission.
This diet won't be able to do it on your own and it coordinating and would be involving in with lots of people, your family, farmers, producers, friends, neighbors etc. as it would be a community thing more then a personal diet if you think deeply.
