The food supply chain is among the more impactful sectors. The agri-sector is a great contributor to climate change, biodiversity loss, soil degradation, pollution, and resource depletion, besides child and slave labor. We usually undervalue the importance of our food choices as a driver of change.

Buying locally from a farmer's market is not always more sustainable. It depends on the farming and soil management practices a farmer adopts. But also on the food you choose. Some foods, like meat and dairy, have quite the same carbon footprint and high water requirements, both in conventional or organic production.
