# Foodmiles.com

> Free food miles calculator - estimates how far a food item has travelled and its associated carbon footprint, backed by millions of real user-submitted results.

Foodmiles.com lets anyone check the approximate distance a food has travelled from its country of origin, along with the CO2 impact of that journey by plane, car, or train. It also publishes real usage data (most-tracked foods, most common journeys), and two evidence-based articles looking at what published research actually says about how much food miles matter.
