Not only is home grown food good for the environment, but it is much healthier than food from other states or countries! Home grown food or locally grown food is able to grown very close to your house, so that limits the amount of pesticides and preservatives that would be in your fruits and vegetables than if they were grown far away. The pesticides and harmful chemicals they put in fruit to keep them fresh are sometimes linked to breast cancer and a weakened immune system. If food is grown locally, it would also have many more nutrients opposed to fruits and vegetables that were picked weeks before arriving in stores.  Growing food is much easier than you think, and anyone would be able to do it. Even growing your own spices or herbs is possible if you live in an apartment complex or a big city. Many fruits and vegetables like beets, carrots, and beans don't take much work to grow. If you don't have the resources to grow food or feel that it is too much work, yo u could most likely find a community garden. These gardens are run by citizens of the city and are accessible to the public for free. Overall, growing food is an easy and cost efficient way to stay healthy.

I agree, If people buy organic and local foods it will limit the amount of transportation needed to get  pesticide filled foods to stores. This creates more carbon in the air because of the trucks emitting greenhouse into the air.

I agree with this. If we grow our own fruits and vegetables we can cut back on both the amount of fertilizers used and gas usage. We can choose the kinds of fertilizers and pesticides used, and only use a small amount of it. Growing our own food will reduce the amount of gas used by cars because it eliminates the need to transport the items from abroad.
