It may also diminish the incentive for small local farmers to transition to organic. <br />As a small organic farmer and specialty foods creator, I will not give up organic to go local in all cases. Local may be better in some cases with regards to carbon footprint, but there's no question that organic is better for health. I will always reward local organic farmers first. If we do our business with them, their success will inspire others to do the same.
