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?

I like the idea of home grown food since it saves money and you know what is in your food but growing food takes time and commitment. In a busy life growing your own food can be challenging to manage. But community gardens where everyone works together could make the job easier. What ideas do have to make growing your own food easier?

I think a family garden if you live close to your other family members it could make it much either and save a lot of money. you could have potluck which can save the amount of food thrown out and would be a lot of fun.

I lovee the idea of a community garden but who would pay for it and would there need to be an organizer to manage everything?

sooon-08 I think a family garden is a great idea it is a great way of saving money and food you get to lower your carbon footprint and save money with your family.

adam_6798 I think we could have a fundraiser to get the money and an organizer would not be needed everyone could discuss and get their task and when in the beginning then it is self efficient maybe with a rotating supervisor to make sure check on everything.

You bring up a valuable point, as some people simply don't have the space to grow their own produce. I believe a communal garden to which everyone attends is a great idea. A few downsides to a communal garden would be vandalism, greed (someone taking more than they need), and planting invasive plants.
