Transport Mode, Season, and Greenhouses: When Food Miles Actually Matter
Truck, ship, and air freight differ by orders of magnitude. Heated winter greenhouses can exceed field imports. Average food-mile guilt is still the wrong default algorithm.

Local vs Global Food Systems: Efficiency, Resilience, and Health Claims
Neither pure global nor pure local maximizes health, climate, and resilience. Production method and diet composition dominate; trade and regional capacity both have jobs.

Cold Chain, Packaging, and Food Waste: Where Nutrients and Emissions Leak
Broken cold chains waste food and nutrients; packaging trades material impacts for spoilage reduction. Waste often dominates climate math more than last-mile miles.

Seasonal & Regional Eating: Nutrients, Food Miles & Pattern Evidence
Seasonal and regional eating without romanticism — nutrient seasonality, frozen-at-peak value, production GHG over food-miles, Mediterranean/Nordic pattern evidence, and life-stage food security priorities.

Food Miles vs Production Emissions: What Dominates GHG?
What you eat beats how far it traveled—except for air freight and a few extremes.
