through the aisles of a grocery store is almost like taking a trip around the world:
strawberries from Chile and *Asian pears are available in the middle of winter.
Americans have come to expect constant variety in their diet, wherever they live,
whatever the time of year. This means we must often import our food from around the
world. It is important to understand how this affects our Earth.
2 When food has to travel great distances, it is not just *shipping that is expensive;
the environmental impact is also costly. For example, the true cost of transporting *a
flat of strawberries from Chile to a grocery store in the United States must also take
into account the *manpower, *fossil fuel consumption, and *carbon emissions.
3 The phrase "food miles" means the number of miles a product must travel in order
to reach the consumer. A flat of strawberries from Chile *shipped to Ohio has traveled
more "food miles" than a flat from California. Measuring food impact on the Earth
must also take into account weather (strawberries grown in *hothouses have a bigger
*carbon footprint than those grown in sunlight) and transportation type (*ocean
freighters use less fuel than aircraft). "Food miles" are a rough but crucial calculation

辞書で調べましたか？

調べたんですが、納得できるような意味が出てこなかったんです…解答の訳に「a flat of strawberry」が一箱のイチゴと訳されていたので「a flat of」は一箱って意味なのかな？と思って調べてみたんですけど、どう調べてもそのような訳は出てきませんでした。電子辞書でも調べましたが、「該当する候補はありません」と出てきたので…解答の訳だけでは納得できないので質問させてもらいました。
説明不足で申し訳ありません🙇

一応、私が使ってるコンパスローズ英和には

｟米｠ (果物販売・苗木用)平箱; [a flat of ～ として] 一皿(分).

という風に載っています。
ただ、辞書によっては記述がないものもあるみたいですね。
