Eating locally grown food is good because it's better for the environment. There is less transportation needed so it leaves less of a carbon footprint. Also, your money goes directly to the farmers who grow the food instead of huge companies. Gardens are convenient because you can get food whenever you need it. They are also more fresh than from the store because there are no chemicals and pesticides. Since local produce is grown in smaller amounts, it is better quality because the farmers can spread out resources evenly.

I agree Néha, by eating more local and organic food you can help decrease green house gases. Less transportation is used than the less gases going into the air. Local farmers are better for the environment than big companies which produce lots of agricultural  green house gases. I also agree the more local you eat the more healthy and non-GMO the food might be.

I agree with you. Companies that mass produce milk and meat products treat the animals extremely horribly. Growing your own food and buying locally is a great way to know how the animals are being treated and to boy cot the big, inhumane companies without having to cut out meat and dairy products altogether.

I agree that we should eat more local foods to reduce our carbon footprint and to eat more healthy foods

My mother grows fresh produce that we sell in the fall. The farmers market that we sell at is less than half a miles ride away from my house and is easily accessible. More farmers markets like this one are great for smaller towns and are something we don't see enough of.
