How much does eating locally-produced food help the climate problem? What are the other potential environmental and social benefits of eating locally-grown/produced food? Do you have a food garden in your school or at home? If not, do you want one?

Home grown is better

Homegrown food has many benefits. I will say two of many. First of all, it's better for our planet. It cuts packaging waste, uses fewer chemicals, supports biodiversity, and encourages sustainable eating. Second of all, it taste so much better. It is fresher and grown without long storage or transport that can dull flavor. I can confirm that because most of the vegetables I eat is grown in my garden and it taste amazing. What do you think? Can you come up with other benefits?

I agree with this take, as I think the benefits of homegrown food completely out weigh the parts to buying and consuming packaged foods. I also think another benefit of homegrown food is that it is most likely healthier than packaged and store bought foods. It provides human with better nutritional benefits than store foods, and as I can recall, when I was a child I used to eat a lot of homegrown foods, which always left me energized and left me feeling good in terms of my body, but with store bought foods it would sometimes cause me to be tired and to even be less focused during school. Another benefit I would add is that it can save people money as they can spend less to grow food on their own instead of buying it straight up from a store. Any other benefits anyone can think of?
