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?

Cost effective ways to start growing your own food.

Growing your own food at home can be very good for the environment, it reduces your carbon footprint, can lead to less waste, and can reduce the amount of harmful pesticides used for producing food. It is also good for the individual tending to the farm, gardening has been shown to reduce stress, can be exercise, the food often tastes better, and it increases the persons food security. However, starting a new garden is a large investment at first and you have to pay a lot of money up front before you can start saving money in the long run, and a lot of people cannot afford that. I found some websites that have lots of tips on ways to save money when starting/maintaining a garden: https://zerowastehomestead.com/dirt-che … -a-budget/ and https://www.accidentalhippies.com/start … p-or-free/  . These sources can be very helpful to anyone who wants to start growing their own food, so feel free to look at & share them.

I think that this is a very good idea however most people in my opinion are far to lazy to do this instead of just going and buying food from the store. So I suggest that if possible find a way to do this in a way that takes less effort to make it a lot more appealing to people.
