Biologique chooses local whenever possible. However, if you only choose local food,you're health will be compromised. You can't find local foods that are healthy, such as pineapple or coconut. Therefore, to achieve the full spectrum of nutrition, it is important to eat foods outside of local parameters from time to time.

Local is the better choice for several reasons. First, supporting your local community is only an investment for a better community. Secondly, local food is often fresher; traveling less distance and often contains higher nutritional value. For example, once the spinach is picked, it begins to die instantly. You'd rather eat it the day after it was picked rather than several days after to get the highest level of nutrition as well as the least risk for illness. Thirdly, local foods account for more farms, providing better soil diversity accross the world. The trend shows the more farms, the more healthy we are. The fewer farms, the less healthy we become and the less healthy our soil and environment become.

We will continue to work with local farms to support these important facets to health.
