	Therefore, by importing french produced oil to the NL, we have cut down the transportation distance + CO2 print by x4! The price of the oil is of course higher: 6€ for a 1L bottle (produced by a small scale organic farm) + 10€ for the shipping. By buying a case of 6 bottles, you will double your expenses, sure, but help to sustain resilient farming as well as having a consistent impact on the environment.

	France being one of the main grower of rapeseed, we went on a hunt to find an organic oil produced with french organic seeds. After dozens of phone calls we found only one company (only one) producing oil with french organic rapeseed: “[http://www.ethiquable.coop/fiche-produit-equitable-et-bio/huile-vierge-colza-bretagne-paysans-dici/ Les Greniers Bio d'Armorique]”. The distance from this french factory to the NL is more or less: 520kms.		France being one of the main grower of rapeseed, we went on a hunt to find an organic oil produced with french organic seeds.

	The rapeseed oil from [https://ekoland.eu/assortiment/koolzaadolie/ Ekoland] (a dutch oil manufacturer sold in [[Ekoplaza\|EkoPlaza]] shops and online) is said to be produced a 100% in the Netherlands with organic rapeseed. No counter indication, the label indicates BIO-NL. However, if you contact them by twitter, the company will actually notify you that the rapeseed comes from Romania, thus 2200 kms away, and then pressed in the Netherlands. The oil costs 3,80€ for 1L , which means that to get such a low price, the company needs to produce a very large amount of oil, thus multiplying the back and forth of trucks from Romania to the NL. The CO2 print is therefore exponential.
