Christina Cooks: Back to the Cutting Board
Eating Locally
Season 5
Episode 504
What does “local food” actually mean? It can be as simple as eating most of your diet from foods grown within your own home state.

Christina visits an urban farmer in Philadelphia dedicated to creating access to fresh food for everyone.
