In doing so, Gayeton helps people understand what they mean for their lives. He also includes "eco tips" and other information on how the sustainable movement affects us all every day.Local: The New Face of Food and Farming in America educates, engages, and inspires people to pay closer attention to how they eat, what they buy, and where their responsibility begins for creating a healthier, safer food system in America.
