Sustaining Sustainable Food in Local Restaurants

Listen Wednesday, Dec. 9, 2009 at 1:06 p.m. in Agriculture, Economy, Food

For local restaurants, serving "sustainable" food from local farms can be appetizing to eco-conscious eaters. But the demand for locally grown food can often outstrip supply, forcing chefs to look elsewhere for what's fresh. Kojo explores the challenges some restaurants and their suppliers face at a time when "eating green" is more popular than ever.
