In discussing whether
food
 should be imported, and what are the consequences to the local
food
 market and the
environment
, one should bear in mind the complexity of the issue.
Although
 some believe importing
food
 is good, because it opens the local market and reduces
food
 price, others think there are many
disadvatages
the quality of having an inferior or less favorable position
disadvantages
. In my opinion, importing
food
 poses many
disadvatages
the quality of having an inferior or less favorable position
disadvantages
, and should be discouraged. In
this
 essay, I will provide reasons and examples to support my argument. One argument in
favor
promote over another
favour
 of my position is that production of
food
 should remain local, in order to protect our
environment
 and avoid access use of electricity and fuel.
For example
,
bief
any cognitive content held as true
belief
bag
 is brought to Israel from the United States via special ships in a journey that lasts 3 months. The amount of electricity and fuel required is sufficient to maintain a local farm for more than 6 months.
This
 example shows that bringing
food
 from distant countries affect our
environment
 and local businesses and should be discontinued. Another point supporting my opinion is that local farms and industries are affected severely by importing
food
.
For instance
, 5 years ago the Israeli government decided to open the local fish market to international companies.
This
 decision led to a dramatic decrease in fish prices and,
as a result
 more than 20% of the local fish farms closed down.
This
 example demonstrates that local markets are negatively affected by importing
food
 and should be protected. In conclusion, I maintain that the disadvantages of importing
food
 overweigh the
advatages
the quality of having a superior or more favorable position
advantages
 and should be prevented. We should protect our
environment
 and local industry at any cost.
