Food, Health and Cultivating Communities
Transcript of Food, Health and Cultivating Communities
Knowing the story of the food on your plate adds to the pleasure of eating and connects you to the world. Foodies play a critical role in developing sustainable practices and responsible travel. Choosing what we eat and where we eat goes a long way in cultivating resilient communities and improving the health of visitors and locals alike. You are welcome to adapt and reuse with the attribution-sharealike license. We welcome your interaction -- comments, questions, suggestions, shares, clips, favorites, likes and hearts.

Conscious travel helps visitors choose local food
that in turn bolsters local economies and
strengthens communities.
