if you are looking for a more sustainable way to live homegrown is the way to go. homegrown food costs less than store-bought food. you still have to pay for the tools to set up a garden, but in the end, the amount of money you would save from not buying as much food would pay for the tools and more. also, it is more sustainable than buying food because there is less food waste. one can pick what they want to eat for the night and then let the rest grow. Also, with leftover food, you can make compost to put in your garden's soil, which will help the plants keep the food cycle going. It also in general tastes better than store-bought food made with chemicals and the ones that aren't much more. with fruits and veggies when harvested they start to deteriorate, so when they come from a supper market they have harvested then they sit there for a week and lose their nutrition. on the other hand, you can harvest your food and then eat it right away without losing any nutrients. in the end, it is better to grow your food because it is healthier for you and it reduces your carbon footprint in how much you spend on food and the food you eat.
