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 think that home grown food is a good way of keeping our environment safe. Growing our own food at home is healthier for us than buying it in big shopping malls. Food that we find in shopping malls was grown by using many pesticides and chemicals to make them grow faster and to keep them fresh longer. Those chemicals are not good for our health and by using them we are also contaminating the soil it grows in. By growing our own food we are saving our Earth and also our health. My family has a pretty big garden and we grow most of our vegetables by ourselves while we can, but during winter months we also buy food from supermarkets. The difference between taste and smell of home grown and store bought food is really big and I would always pick the home grown food first.
