Hi,

Could anybody please help me with the meaning of this senetnce?
P.S. I know what is food miles.

Local food both pre-dates food miles as a concept and, as a consequence, to some extent, helps to configure the conceptualisation of food miles.

Thanks.

"Food miles" deals with distance food travels from producer to consumer. Locally produced food is not transported very far.

"Pre-dates" = "existed before"
