There is definitely a benefit to consuming locally grown food. For one, it is normally organic and is not exposed to harmful conditions because California has strict agricultural laws. Locally grown food is a great option because it does not have to face the expensive costs of transportation, and is cheaper. While some foods may not be in season all the time, it is a good option. The main reason why locally grown food is great is because it does not generate CO2 from transportation. Not only does it help the environment, but buying locally supports local businesses and farm. I can almost guarantee that the food you find at farmer's markets is better than that of a grocery store. But there is something to be said about convenience. Not all people have the time to shop at a market for food fresh from the farm. I know that sometimes I don't. most people also don't have the time or space for growing their own food in a backyard garden. However, even buying some of your produce from local farms helps.
Locally grown food is great. They're fresh, they might be cheaper and they do not produce much carbon dioxide. By spending a little more time shopping at a market, you can help the environment. I absolutely agree with you and your action. Thank you
I completely agree with your statements, especially that locally grown food is much more beneficial than store bought food. Consuming locally grown food means consuming less pesticides and chemicals, and is definitely cheaper. When we buy locally grown food, we save a lot of fossil fuels that would be used in the transportation of the food. I also agree with your fact that buying locally grown food saves CO2 and is much healthier. It is also great tasting and helps support our local farmers.
