"The emerging trend toward healthier, fresher foods that are also gentle on the environment presents new dilemmas for conscientious consumers. Marketers tout the attributes of "organic" food, while the "local foods movement" is gaining popularity throughout the world.

Consumers frequent local farmers' markets because they expect higher quality, freshness and taste, and lower prices."
