Food travels thousand of miles from far to consumer. Some people think it could be better to our enviroment and economic of people only are local produced food. What are the advantages and disadvantages?

Nowadays we can buy

food

that is

made in places that are far from us. There are some debates about whether it is positive or negative. I will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the long-time travelling

food

in

this

essay. The

first

advantage is that our lives become more

colorful

having striking color

colourful

because of that. We can eat

food

from all over the

country

and all over the world.

On the other hand

, farmers can sell their products to the whole

country

, even export them to foreign countries,

thus

helping them make more money. It is a win-win for the consumers and the

food

providers. More importantly, the ability of travelling

food

thousand of miles helps solving the problem of lacking

food

. If a city or a

country

suffers from starvation,

food

can be easily transferred to that place. It is a big achievement in human history.

However

, there are

also

some disadvantages. Local farmers now have to face the competition from farmers in other cities or other countries.

Moreover

, if a

country

has very little ability to provide

food

by itself and has to rely on

food

imported from other countries, it may have a negative influence on its national security. It is less likely to happen in my opinion because the importance of

food

is a common knowledge now. Usually, the government will make sure it has the ability to provide enough

food

for its own. From where I stand, I think it is a positive development that

food

can travel far to the consumer. We now have a better life due to

this

development.
