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 live on a Icelandic farm as far away from the capital of iceland as possible, and the closest shop is 60 km away. My family is producing alot of the food we eat by our selfs. Like meat and vegatables (in the summer only), that must be more eco friendly then buying meat or vegatables in the shop right?
Wow! Thats so cool, whats your total carbon emmision?
Yeah, less carbon emitted and less use of transportation.
my mom did the same thing when she was younger! she was on an icelandic farm with her aunt and she wasnt paid any money. its amazing what you are doing! it most definitely will have an impact^^
I grew up on a farm in Citra, Florida. Our farm is also a pretty fair distance away from any big cities. Although it is a horse and hay farm, we grow a lot of seasonal fruits and vegetables. This helps cut down my families carbon footprint a lot.
