  14. e Carbon Footprint of the Food System. While studies vary, a typical estimate is that the food industry accounts for 10% of all fossil fuel use in the United States. Of all the energy consumed by the food system, only about 20% goes towards production; the remaining 80% is associated with processing, transport, home refrigeration and preparation.

  15. Hill, Holly. NCAT Research Specialist. Published 2008. ATTRA Publication #IP312Website: National Sustainable Agriculture Information Service How Are Food Miles Calculated? A series of formulas for calculating food miles has been developed and has become widely accepted. Calculating the distance a food item has traveled varies in complexity depending on whether the item is made up of a single ingredient or multiple ingredients and the mode of transportation used to carry the item.

  16. Hill, Holly. NCAT Research Specialist. Published 2008. ATTRA Publication #IP312 Farm-to-Institution Programs. Selling food directly to schools, hospitals, prisons and other institutions is becoming an increasingly popular option. Selling food to institutions creates a reliable market for the farmer and provides great health and economic benefits to the consumer. Farm-to-institution programs also reduce food miles.
