Eating locally will help our climate problems because then we don't have to ship food as far as we would normally. When the food is close by, you don't have to ship it as far, which will save gas. Some other benefits of eating locally are that the food is fresh and hasn't been sitting around for weeks. Also when eating fresh food you don't use as much plastic, and it hasn't been in a factory.    In my backyard we have a garden, and my family plants new fruit and vegetables every season.
