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 >
Mass production
The amount of locally produced food is lower than globally produced food. Buying food that is out of season encourages openings of the new factories with mass production. For such production they'll use a lot of pesticides. They help the food grow quicker but in large quantities they are harmful for our environment. They can cause problems such as waterway pollution, chemical burn to corps, increased air pollution... I have two gardens where my family produce seasonal food, mostly vegetables.
I think that we should reduce very much our consomation of meat.
