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?

Home Grown
Home growing your own food is very beneficial to our climate problem! In your own garden, you are aware of how much water the use. In big crop fields, water is sprayed everywhere on a timer. Water conservation is key. When food products are grown, big vehicles, such as planes, ships, and trucks, will have to ship items to stores far and wide. This increases carbon emission which will affect global warming. Tractors and machines are also used to harvest. Organic, locally produced food require little to none transportation. Growing your own food helps our environment immensely; besides it's more rewarding and cleaner(if no pesticides), to eat the food you grew. We do have a garden out back in our school and an Outdoor Development Program. They are responsible for tending to our nature area, including plants, chickens, etc. I would love to see my school take further action and grow our own vegetables..etc, and perhaps selling them at lunch or allowing the kitchen to use them in school lunches!
I think its amazing that you grow your own food. It is beneficial. I like this idea!
Home growing could be a big step in the future of the world. I think it could change many lives in many factors.
