		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s been a lot of debate about the term &#8216;local&#8217; in Ontario recently with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency threatening Bistro Burger Joint of Alliston, Ont with a fine for advertising its hamburger as local. Owner Jay Klausen says he buys his meat from Field Gate Organics which is outside of the 50km range that the CFIA considers local. The law this policy is based on is from 1974 and many believe its time to change the definition. Ontario premier Kathleen Wynne is currently engaged in a dialogue with the federal agency. Wynne wants to see this definition expand to include the whole province of Ontario while others argue that a 100 &#8211; 200km range is sufficient to add the local label. Leaving the definition of distance aside, here are some of the connotations that the term local may have in consumers minds: Low Carbon Footprint &#8211; While buying local means that your food didn&#8217;t travel a long way to get to your table, a new paper by a Toronto professor argues that distance isn&#8217;t the only factor to consider in gauging environmental impact. According to Desrochers, farming techniques and efficiency play a much larger role. This may mean that a large rancher or slaughterhouse processing many heads of cattle could be responsible for large amounts CO2 emissions even though they are located within the 50km CFIA definition of local. Better Taste &#8211; It is definitely true that fruits and vegetables picked and consumed when ripe are much tastier and more nutrient rich than ones picked early to allow for long distance transportation. Supporting Local Economies &#8211; Many people believe in supporting local farmers and local jobs with their dollars. Everyone benefits in this scenario, even if the local producers are factory farms where treatment of animals or growing techniques may be objectionable. Its important to keep in mind that in this aspect, local doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean &#8216;healthier&#8217; or &#8216;ethical&#8217;. Face to Face Relationships &#8211; Just go to any farmers market on a weekend to meet and talk to the people growing your food. Ask about their systems and techniques. Discuss flavours and cooking methods. Creating and maintaining these relationships are really the only way to know for sure where your food comes from and how its raised. When it comes down to it, &#8216;local&#8217; may have a legal definition of distance but nothing can surpass having a personal relationship with your food providers. Visit the farms or vineyards, get educated on their techniques and decide for yourself what is an acceptable compromise between price, ethics and flavour.]]></description>
