摘要: The past several years have seen a rising interest in all things sustainable, from energy efficient homes and vehicles, to alternative energy sources, to increasing focus on recyclable and renewable material usage. This trend has also been accompanied by an increased examination by consumers of where our foods come from and how it reaches us. Decades of globalization have drastically altered supply chains. Along with consumer goods, the distance in that food travels to reach its markets has grown exponentially, and stressed freight transportation systems. This research will identify how the local food supply and distribution systems function in the Upper Midwest States and suggests ways that regional food transportation movements can become more efficient and retain and enhance other values.
