relocalize.net Local Communities Global Connections is a group of websites that provide resources to help communities to think about local issues. From the about page on their website:

The Relocalization Network was created in 2003 as one of the first initiatives of Post Carbon Institute. It developed as a response to individuals’ questions about how they could take action to address the implications of peak oil. We found that the most effective strategies are initiated at the community level. For this reason, Post Carbon Institute decided that establishing a network of Local Post Carbon Groups was the best way to provide concerned individuals with the support and resources necessary to coordinate effective action.

It's not much to ask to just eat one "all local" meal in a month ... even I can do that.

Raw Raw Foods offer the people of downtown Sarasota a healthy, energizing luncheon option, while providing the convenience of delivery to their business or home. The food is fresh, largely grown in the area and mostly organic.

Could Florida be part of the "problem" why don't more farms grow "local" foods for "local" consumption?

IF you’ve stood in line at a farmers’ market recently, you know that the local food movement is thriving, to the point that small farmers are having a tough time keeping up with the demand.

This is the place to get your fresh food!
