Choosing local vs. organic foods.

Which is better for the environment - choosing organic or local?

If you go to the farmers market, not everything is organic, if anything.
However, some organic foods are shipped half-way across the world, which causes pollution and whatever else.

Personally, I don't have the choice of local at all (because of where I live).
We have a small farmers market 15 minutes away, but that's mainly corn and maple syrup.
I'm not even sure if the foods are from around here or if they bring them from Albany or something.
(1 hour drive).

I'm not looking for an argument of what's vegan, just what you would choose if you could only choose one.
even if you don't eat local or organic.

sorry if there is already a thread for this.
I was curious.

i guess i'm lucky in that most of my local farmers are against pesticides =-)
