Description: “This was a supporting piece of research for the ‘Urban Agriculture in Kingston: Present and Future Potential for Re-localization and Sustainability 2007’ report. Based on work by Marc Xuerub, a planner at Waterloo Region Public Health, it analyzed the greenhouse gas emissions of food transport into the Kingston region. It estimated that products that could be grown locally had high transport emissions and travelled an average of 4700 km to reach its destination. The work was re-released at the 2007 Guelph Organic Conference.”
