In many countries, people like to eat a wider variety of food from other region more than local food. As a result, much of the food has to come from other regions. Do the advantages of this trend outweigh its disadvantages?
People in the past used to have only homemade products to eat due to the limitation of means of transport whereas, a wide range of non-native food is available to people in
this
contemporary life. As two sides of a coin, Linking Words
this
development has both benefits and shortcomings; Linking Words
nevertheless
, I believe that the latter outweighs the former.
On the one hand, there is no disputing the fact that a smooth flow of foodstuff among areas could foster the whole economy by optimizing resources. Linking Words
For instance
, a region which is suitable for producing rice thanks to fertilized soil and an advanced irrigation system can obtain more income by selling its main product to another state where natural resources are at a disadvantaged position. Linking Words
In addition
, meals coming from other regions without boundary restrictions guarantee the whole population gets sufficient nutrition because it reduces the scarcity of food.

On the other hand
, Linking Words
this
development is projected to bring more adverse impacts. Linking Words
Firstly
, the delivery of perishable fruits from one place to different another requires quick transportation, even if air travel is applied. It means that more fuel is needed and more exhaust fumes are emitted. Linking Words
This
becomes more worrying while there is no disputing the fact that the pollution problem has become unprecedentedly serious and fuels Linking Words
such
as petrol and oil have been depleted. Linking Words
Secondly
, imported foodstuffs may make the development of the domestic economy be overlooked. Linking Words
In other words
, consumers prefer choosing non-native foodstuffs can make local farmers discourage investing in technology to yield productivity, Linking Words
for example
.
In conclusion, I would contend that people nowadays have more choices of what they intake, not only domestic but Linking Words
also
imported fresh food. Linking Words
However
, Linking Words
this
trend can result in more drawbacks than benefits as the above analysis.Linking Words
