Locally produced helps the climate problem a lot because there is easier access, inexpensive cost, healthier, and more fresh. First of all, home grown food allows you to grow your own food and monitor what you are really eating. Compared to store bought, general food, you can’t really tell whether or not this food is being jam packed with added preservatives, chemicals, artificial sweeteners, etc. All of these extra ingredients are very unhealthy and many people don’t know what the side effects are. The cost of growing them isn’t that expensive either other than the access to water. It just takes the proper soil/foundation and proper care which is generally inexpensive compared to constantly going to the store and buying a pack of it. By having a garden that you can grow your food in, you allow yourself to be able to get ingredients and food whenever you want. You don’t need to drive (which also releases greenhouse gasses)  and its a great educational opportunity for kids. Adding more plants is great because it also produces healthy oxygen that everyone needs.
