Description: Did you ever wonder how 'fresh' vegetables and fruits appear on your supermarket shelves all year round? Clearly, they have been grown, processed, and preserved in ways that we may not be fully aware of. Yet, it is crucially important - not only for your own and your family's health but also for the sustainability of the entire natural environment - that we know the facts about where our food comes from, how it gets to our table, and how each of us as individuals can improve the health and well-being of our planet. Learn how to get started with this simple, informative guide, recognized by UNESCO as a 'contribution for the United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development'.
