<br/><br/> With the advent of COVID-19 pandemic globally, human beings are compelled to live <br/>differently.  For  mere  survival,  they  have  learnt  to  limit  and  control  themselves.  In  <br/>India, the devastating effect of COVID-19 is felt mainly in the metropolitan cities, which <br/>are moving towards un-sustainability. One of the cornerstones of a sustainable society <br/>is elimination of waste flow at the source. Food packaging costs a lot and creates a lot <br/>of solid waste. Reduce, reuse, recycle, rejuvenate and rehabilitate is the way forward <br/>for making the society more sustainable. The scope of the paper is to control and limit <br/>the  adverse  environmental  impact  by  reducing  food  miles.  In  the  agricultural  sector  <br/>the scope of one such control lies in the area of food miles. Food miles, directly and <br/>indirectly affect the decline in air quality. Policy makers and planners should focus on <br/>what should be done to reduce these impacts of long distance food transportation vis-à-<br/>vis its impact on the environment.
