Or so we thought…why is it that economic geographer Pierre Desrochers believes that food miles and the 100 mile diet are a marketing fad? He believes they distort the environmental impacts of our food systems and detract from real pursuit of sustainable food systems. Desrochers is an associate professor at the University of Toronto’s Mississauga campus. SPF contributor Stewart Fast caught up with him earlier this month by phone from Montana where he is spending his sabbatical as a visiting scholar at the Property and Environment Research Centre in Bozeman.

We also heard a previously recorded interview with Matt Dudley, the proprietor of Ottawa Organics and Natural Foods, which lets Ottawa residents order organic, fair trade and often local foods online and then delivers them to the door. Matt Street talked with Matt Dudley about how the system works and how Ottawa Organics decides when to choose local and when to choose fair trade produce. This piece originally aired on May 14, 2009.
