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?

New Zealand home grown benefits
eating home grown foods significantly reduces the carbon footprint. as New Zealand is so far from rest of the world any imports cause significant CO2 levels.
Is most of your food imported from countries like the US? In addition, when writing my post on this topic, I completely forgot about the possibility of shipping food by air. While I interpreted this question from a domestic viewpoint, it is very interesting to think of how vast the transportation of food is within our world and how industrialized agriculture has become.
