Homework #6 Food Miles and Carbon
Assignment Information
Name Homework #6 Food Miles and Carbon
This week, we introduced the term ‘food miles’ (pg. 74, Young and Dhanda). With one of your meals this week (e.g., purchased or made by you/family/Kendall kitchen), do everything you can to determine where at least three ingredients came from (ask the cooks and stores, search the web). Then, research alternatives to conceive a “more local” option. Is it possible? What are the limitations? 1) Show pictorially with maps and a slide for both the local and the nonlocal option. In addition to calculating the miles, calculate the carbon dioxide emissions using the calculator on the link:

You will have to use 1 kg for a minimum quantity and make an educated guess which mode of travel is used. Which form of transportation has the lowest CO2 emissions? What other factors can influence the carbon foot print of food products? How do these other factors come into play with the more local option?
