the distance a food travels from where it is produced to where it is consumed.

5. Why do we care?

6. Less miles = less CO2 But when is it not that simple?

7. Are all food miles equal?

8. What else contributes to carbon emissions besides transport?

9. Sometimes production is more important than miles
Sometimes production is more important than miles. This shows transport to Sweden from Spain.
