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?

Locally Grown Food helps the local economy.
Eating locally grown food not only helps the climate, but eating local also majorly supports your local economy. In Maine, there are many local farms that would fall apart if they weren’t supported. Buying things like eggs, honey, and vegetables locally can help you because eating healthy, help the environment because less CO2 emmisions and help keep your local economy, booming.
I agree with this because the more that you support your local circle of farmers and producers the more it helps the environment. This works because you are not buying from the massive and terrible farming industry. If we were all to buy local we would be eating better but any the same time not supporting killing our planet. Also i agree with what you said about the local economy, it would really help it out and make your town or city be much better.
I agree to this in lots of ways. I think with out of state foods that causes it to be transported from great distances which uses fossil fuels. With locally grown food that brings tha t transpertation distance down by a ton useing less fossil fuels.
It’s crazy how long food travels to get to places. When you think about how much carbon is used in growing the food and then used to transport the food hundreds of miles it ends up being a massive amount of carbon.
