There are many benefits to eating home grown food. First of all, lots of the big food corporations emit lots of pollution in making the food and transporting the food to you. Eating local businesses' food saves the amount of pollution with less transportation needed. Also, home grown food is healthier for people because you know exactly how the food was made, and no extra chemicals or preservatives were added, all completely natural and fresh! Try to make a habit of eating out at farmer's markets or small businesses close to your home, or attempt to make a small garden. I like to say that I eat lots of home grown food, as my school lunches are from my school's garden and I eat food from the farmer's market at least once a week. Lastly, my neighbor has a massive garden in his backyard and our family has bought lots of food from them! It truly does taste better, is healthier, and benefits the environment!

Great Point! I have a big backyard at my house. We have about 20 fruit trees and we grow all kinds of vegetables at home. It definitely is healthier and we don't have to drive to a grocery store as often as we would have to if we didn't have a garden. It reduces our purchases and our transportation because we don't have to drive to a store as often to purchase food. It definitely tastes better and a lot healthier. You know exactly what is in your food because you are growing it yourself.

Along with home grown food, getting food from local natural places is very important. That way the food is natural and it doesn't have a big carbon footprint becuase it has come from somewhere nearby. You can easily find out what happens to your food and how it is grown if it is local
