Food travels thousands of miles from producers to consumers. Some people think that it would be better for the environment and economy if people only ate the local food produced by farmers. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?
In today's fast-paced world, transportation has been helping many goods including
food
to move from one place to another. Among people are some who opine that nations should not consume food
-related products
from other countries and that they should consume food
that produced
in the locality. As it could be beneficial to their Add a missing verb

environment
and to their economy
alike. In my opinion, I completely agree with this
notion for two reasons that I will further
discuss.
Firstly
, moving products
that are meant to be eaten, many miles causes excessive pollution to the environment
. This
is due to the fact that this
process requires a tremendous amount of fuel which is essential to the internal combustion of engines of the machine that haul food
. For instance
, most producers rely on ships and heavy trucks to move their goods thousands of miles, which are known for their high appetite of
fuel. In fact, burning fuel releases harmful gases including carbon dioxide, which is the main factor that contributes to global warming. Change preposition

As a result
, more air pollution is expected and could lead to irreparable damage to our atmosphere. For this
reason, I believe that environmental problems are inevitable.
Secondly
, consuming food
that had been produced in the locality could flourish the local economy
drastically. Owing to the fact that authorities would spend less money on importing food
-related goods. This
money could be invested somewhere else. For example
, it could be devoted to financing local farmers to encourage them to plant more products
that are in demand in local markets. Therefore
, more job opportunities could be created for citizens. Consequently
, standards of living could be increased for many.
In conclusion, it is commonly asserted that citizens should consume food
products
that have been produced in the locality in order to benefit their economy
and their environment
. I completely agree with this
view as moving food
products
causes excessive pollution to the environment
, in addition
, consuming local products
could flourish the local economy
