How is home grown beneficial?
Home grown is very beneficial for the environment. I think homegrown can impact the environment positively because it reduces the carbon emissions. Carbon emission trap the sun's heat which causes climate change. Homegrown also offers more nutrients because you don’t have to worry about pesticides that are on local grown produce so, you will be eating pure grown produce. Homegrown overall just helps society because it makes people less sick and helps our global warming situation.
I agree with you, home growing really has many advantages. It reduces carbon emissions and encourages us to eat healthier and grow fresh food. I also think it’s important to mention that if most people start growing and buying local food, they will support their country and local farmers.
My family has been growing vegetables and fruits for many years now and I have seen major improvements in our health. Grocery store vegetables always look bland and raises the concern of where the produce has gone and been through. Having a home garden seriously improved my well being by the fact that I know I have grown something that can feed my family and my neighbors.
I agree with you, but I think it's also important to buy local produce. I live in a city surrounded by farmlands, so there are a lot of fresh crops out for sale. Additionally, there's a farmers market every week at a church near my house, and I think it'd be better if my family went there to buy produce instead of at a store like Costco, since we're supporting our community and preventing more carbon emissions and waste.
