Eating locally-produced food could definitely help the climate problem. It can support more local farms that use more environmentally friendly production practices which can minimize their use of fossil fuel-rich pesticides and fertilizers. Local foods travel a shorter distance to markets and stores which contributes to less pollution and fewer carbon emissions. Emissions are especially high when food is transported by airplane, it can be as much as 50 times as much carbon dioxide as food transported by boat. Lots of local foods are also sold without packaging at farm markets which reduce the amount of plastic waste. Eating more locally grown food if much more fresh and nutritious too. My mom grows vegetables in her garden which we eat for dinner often, this can reduce carbon footprint because there is no need for transportation. Whenever we go to the farmers market, we bring reusable bags and the produce is always unpackaged on the stands which means a lot less plastic is used.
