Description
What makes local food better? Josh McWilliams asked this question as he pondered the food system in light of his job as a chef. Turns out the benefits are substantial. Local food is not only cheaper, but it has a higher nutrient content and tastes vastly better.

He’s a certified chef with a passion for the farm-to-table movement. Learning about food systems while on the Sustainability Council at the University of British Columbia, led him to want to find the most efficient, sustainable way to grow his own food, while living in a state of "time poverty" (too many things to do and not enough time to do them) that so many of us seem to be experiencing. From this, Growoya was born!
