- As industries scaled to support an exploding population, many have been left in the dark. Jonas Singer argues that spending our dollars locally is the way to create more a equitable and healthy distribution of wealth in our communities. But we need to make local scale so it can compete with the massive corporations that control most industries. This is the vision of Union Kitchen, Singer's effort to build a food system that benefits the local community.
Jonas Singer is a native of Chevy Chase, MD who is committed to advancing culture and economic opportunities throughout the Washington, D.C. region. As a Founder of Union Kitchen, Jonas works to build a food system that is profitable, just, and sustainable. Since Jonas and co-founder Cullen Gilchrist launched Union Kitchen in 2012, the business has worked with more than 150+ businesses.

Somehow Dominos is overtaking this local pizza shop Pizza Luche even though Dominos is dumpster fire and Pizza Luche is downright the best food I have ever eaten
At first I thought he is just a disgruntled local farmer, but this is a sales pitch disguised as TED talk as it more often the case with these talks.
shop small, support local businesses and food establishments. we can save local economy if we buy from them together. try eating around town for example rather than shopping for groceries.
or buy from local co-ops
great talk. it is way beyond most people csn understand. they are so blind to how the earth works...
Bottom line: buy local. No need for a sales pitch.
There is no way this can happen whilst secret backroom deals like TPP/TTIP are going on.
tpp is a corrupt government scheme sugar-coated with a misunderstanding of economics.
But buying local in Canada is way more expensive so most people don’t. Even local milk is more expensive. Local produce is way more expensive too. What happens to it? Most of it goes to waste cause local products are too expensive
True. I think the govt will have to give some tax cuts or some incentive to encourage people to buy local. High operating costs due to expensive labor, and high transport costs due to longer distances is a hindrance of Canada
Only expensive compared to what low cost exchange rates, so imports are artificially cheaper.
When you buy local, that's the true value / cost of living.
That title is so fking intelligent
Were his clothes, headband, shoes and papers made locally from local material?
he's probably related to michael moore.

CAPITALISM!!!!
WOOT! WOOT!
Yeah? See a lot of pineapples, avocados, watermelons and peaches grown in New York, Chicago, Toronto or Boston? I wonder why that could be...
local is expensive, genius
