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?

The

food

production industry has significantly gained popularity these days

due to

the increasing demand for exotic

food

items. It is opinionated that citizens should only consume the

food

which is produced and available in their locality as it would be better for a healthy environment and a good economy. I disagree with

this

idea as I believe that people should utilize

food

from all over the

world

. I will state my reasons in the paragraph below.

Food

from different

parts

of the

world

contains various health benefits. There is a variety of consummatory products that are produced in certain

parts

of the

world

. One cannot produce a variety of

food

items in their local area as many factors are considered like the place, season, public demand and so on.

For example

, whenever I visit a doctor for my health checkup, she suggests I eat fruits

such

as apple which has plenty of nutrients and provides health benefits.

However

, apples are not available in my location because the production is mainly held in the northern part of the

country

. Moving on,

food

from vivid

parts

of the

world

holds culture and helps you to stay connected with other communities as well. It shows the exchange of traditions between two nations. It benefits the

country

's economy as well, by shipping

food

items which are exotically produced only in my

country

.

For example

, the production of Alphonso mangoes is only seen in my

country

.

Lastly

, it can be retrieved that people can consume

food

which is travelled thousands of miles from different

parts

of the

world

.
