                    [Summary] => Food miles is defined as the total distance in miles a food item is transported from field to plate. It has become accepted as a convenient indicator of sustainability. It has led to a general movement towards local production and local consumption in order to minimize them. This raises fundamental questions about the sustainability of the globalized food trade and the increasing concentration of the food supply chain and distribution in the hands of fewer and fewer transnational corporations.
