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?

GARDEN
Having your own homemade garden can help create organic fruits and vegetables with no artificial coloring where plants and fruits go to factories. Eating organically is not only helping the environment but also healthy for us.
Growing your own garden is not always possible. Those who live in the city and those who do not have the money or time to grow a garden just can't grow their own food. It is much more important to try to eat locally as this not only better for our atmosphere, but it will help boost the local economy. Lots of people think it is ridiculously over expensive to eat locally. It really isn't, its just whether or not you are willing to give up a few dollars for the good of our earth. We should stop looking at these purchases as personal choices we make and we should start looking at how much it might help our ancestors as they will eventually face serious consequences to this fast growing issue of global climate change.
I agree with bagellord, if you live in a city, or in a location with a large draught or one that just doesn't get much water, it would not be possible to create and sustain a garden of your own. You would either have to go to a grocery store or a local farm/market. A local farm would be a great place to get your food because of the amount of positive thing you get and give from it. You are not only helping your own body by eating foods without chemicals and such, but you are also helping the local economy by buying food from them.
