= Food miles
{wiki=Food_miles}
Food miles refer to the distance food travels from where it is produced to where it is consumed. This concept is often used to measure the environmental impact of food transportation, as longer distances typically mean higher greenhouse gas emissions due to transportation, whether by truck, plane, or ship. The idea behind food miles is to highlight the carbon footprint associated with transporting food products. It encourages consumers to consider the source of their food and the environmental implications of their food choices.
