Based on the 2006 bestselling book, The 100-Mile Diet: A Year of Local Eating by authors James MacKinnon and Alisa Smith, Planet Green presents The 100 Mile Challenge, the first television series to explore the highly-acclaimed local food movement in a provocative, entertaining way. Part reality series, part docu-soap, part social experiment, The 100 Mile Challenge follows the people of Mission, British Columbia, as they take on the challenge to eat food grown and produced within a 100 mile radius for 100 days.
