The only thing you might need to look out for are the claims for local, small producers. http://freakonomics.com/2011/11/14/the-inefficiency-of-local-food/ http://freakonomics.com/2011/11/14/the-inefficiency-of-local... http://blogs.ei.columbia.edu/2012/09/04/how-green-is-local-food/ http://blogs.ei.columbia.edu/2012/09/04/how-green-is-local-f... + There are economies of scale. + There are also people against genetic engineering even if it would reduce pesticides or other pressure on the environment tremendously. + Food safety might be more efficiently regulated in a centralized manner. + Old-fashioned greenhouses might have large yields and might be properly scaled to reduce costs per produced crop as well as support recycling systems for CO2 and other "waste" products. In other words, the situation around food seems more complicated than just "buy local".
