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?

I feel that eating food that is locally produced is better for you. You physically know where it is coming from. It correlates to the climate problem with a positive effect. Growing locally can make it easier to know what chemicals go into it. In my town, we have local farms, but our schools do not. I do not either.
I completely agree. Not only is eating local, organic produce healthy, it also can help reduce a negative impact. You can easily find out how your local produce is grown/made and you can know where it comes from. Just ask! Educate yourself and be aware of where and what you put your money towards. Also, growing produce yourself is incredibly beneficial. It is much cheaper, and then you would for sure know that your produce is ethically grown.
local farms are also good for admitting less methane
