Eating locally produced food helps climate change because it's not using all all of the fossil fuels like with non locally grown food does like with using planes, ships, etc to transport them all over the world. Other benefits are you know what's going into the vegetables like if they're using pesticides or not. At my school there are gardens that we grow vegetables in and then we give those vegetables to the cafeteria and they are used in our lunch's, I also have a garden at my house and last year we grew about 3-4 vegetables in it. I think growing vegetables at home and school really just makes your food taste better because you know its clean and there isn't anything artificial on it.
