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 believe that eating locally grown food is much more sustainable than buying your produce from supermarkets.
Home/locally grown food is not covered in pesticides and chemicals. When those chemicals are used, they actually end up contaminating the soil they grow in, or being ingested by us, which is neither healthy or natural.
Home/locally grown food also reduces our carbon footprint, because it doesn’t need to be shuttled across continents to get to us, producing tons of carbon emissions in the process. It is already right at home, ready for eating.
