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?

Food Systems
Personally, when my mother goes to either Costco, Safeway, or Target, she will come back home with most likely artificial and processed food. That is just the reality of most snacks that you will find in big corporation grocery stores. Recently, I recommended my mother to check out Whole Foods and Trader Joes and compare the differences in the food that is being sold at these stores. Even more, my aunt has inspired my to grow my own fruits and vegetables in my backyard. After being inspired, I did some research on the impact it would have on our environment. Home grown produce is very successful towards creating a more sustainable world because it helps protect our air, water consumption, soil quality, and even better it is organic. Food systems are what help create the produce around our country and it is explained in greater detail in this link. (http://www.sustainabletable.org/254/loc … od-systems).
