What eating local means for conservation

In Galápagos, three out of every four food items come from mainland Ecuador, opening the door to invasive species. Research by the Charles Darwin Foundation shows that active farms, sustainable small-scale fisheries and restaurants that buy local reduce this dependence, protect unique biodiversity and strengthen the archipelago’s long-term sustainability.
