100 Foot Diet – Growing Closer to Home

The 100 Foot Diet was inspired by the "100 mile diet," an eat-local approach popularized by Alisa Smith and J. B. MacKinnon. The 100 Foot Diet expands the emphasis on reducing one's carbon footprint by growing most of the food you consume closer to home. With health and affordability in mind, more people are taking the plunge and are growing their own fruits and vegetables.
