Abstract
Current food practices are not sustainable for the health of the planet or of humans. The industrialized food system has led to the destruction of natural lands, an increase in unhealthful large livestock feeding operations, rising pollution and greenhouse gasses, and a decline in human health. In this project, the potential positive impacts of emphasizing and remembering the geographic and cultural origins of our food will be demonstrated and explained. The importance of returning to more traditional, localized food practices will be presented. This report will partially meet the requirements of the NTD 450 course and will contain the ways these practices can directly improve human physical and mental health, fuel the incomes of local communities and reduce global waste and greenhouse gas emissions. The outcome of this research will help local policymakares and social welfare departments such as the Pennsylvania Department of Health and Human Services to identify and recognize not only the need for such changes, but ways in which they can be achieved.
