Home Grown; Beneficial to All
Supporting locally grown food within your community helps both the economy and environment, effective in all aspect of the ecosystem. Buying, selling, and growing home grown foods cut out the unnecessary tasks from which food is normally delivered. Converting to locally grown foods decreases combustion rates, even if by a slim margin. Usually, production food is traveled almost halfway across the world, which takes multiple layer of transportation to get to our grocery stories, adding multiple layers of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere at the same time. Not only that, but supporting locally grown foods also decreases the respiration rate from the food chain. That being said, your also helping yourself and the community. By buying or selling, you know whats going into your body rather than wishing for the best. Maximiliano Rizzi, a reporter and co author, has covered multiple cases where those who purchase genetically altered foods have gotten sick. Thus, by supporting home grown foods, you are befitting the community, the environment, and yourself all together.
I agree with you Niles. It is a good way to grow local because we save lots of animals lives. People also don't have to go to stores to get food that can be grown outside. People who grow at Home saves money and time to. If the person is hungry they just go outside and get what they want and eat. It is a smart way to grow and eat at home.
This is a great idea. The advantages of locally grown food are stupendous. There is an immense amount of CO2 released into the environment due to the transportation of food. By locally growing food, we can help eliminate the amount of CO2 in our environment. Not only does locally grown food help reduce CO2 because of transportation, but it also produces healthier and fresher foods.
