Eating locally produced food helps the climate problem because it reduces the amount of pollution and carbon dioxide being put into the atmosphere. When something is locally produced the food can be driven five or ten minutes to the nearest store or farmer's market to be sold. When food isn’t locally produced the food may travel across the world through truck or plane which both pollute the air. Foods that come from your own garden also don’t require any plastic which is made in factories. The factories release a huge amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere when they are making the plastic. I have a garden in my backyard and the fruits and vegetables seem much more fresh than buying them from a store. So eating food that is locally produced is much better than store bought foods because it is much better for the atmosphere and the food is fresher.

I agree with you in that food taste better fresh.  I know this because it taste much better when my mom uses food from the farmers market or from our backyard garden then from the grocery store.  Another thing locally produced food helps with is cost,time, and carbon footprint.  It cost a lot more money, spends a lot more  time and causes more pollution to have food shipped all over the country and put through many middle men to get in a grocery store then for each farm to drive there own produce to a farmers market or local market for people to buy food from.  Also food taste much better with out all the preservatives and sitting in boxes for 3 weeks and in the grocery store for 2 weeks before you buy it.
