The food travels thousands of miles from farm to consumer. Some people think it would be better to our environment and economy if people inly ate local produced food. what extend does the advantage outweigh disadvantage?
Some
people
believe there are many benefits in our environment and economy to consuming local production food
items instead
of being transported from other states or imported from foreign countries. I think, only eating locally produced food
has more advantageous
The main advantage of the intake of local food
is that the economic level of village people
will increase because these citizens depend more and more on agriculture and agriculture-related food
production such
as fruits, vegetables, milk and milk products
.So people
can involved in such
type of business and earned more money. Due to
that not only every individual but also
rural become developed. For example
, Sri Lanka is a developing country which 7% of GDP growth dependent on agricultural products
and exporting materials related to agricultural goods such
as rubber, Tea, cocoa and pepper. Moreover
, the price of agricultural goods and related products
are comparatively lower than the transported products
because food
cost depends on manufacturing, storage and transport. If people
stay on local foods no need for transport expenditure and also
storage cost is reduced. And also
more benefits are citizens can consume chemical-free fruits and vegetables. If goods want to store for more days have to use preservatives consequently
leading to a number of health problems such
as allergies, cancer and indigestion.
On the other hand
, only eating rural foods has some drawbacks. One of the disadvantages is that due to
the lack of knowledge, technology and weather condition are not suitable for all varieties of food
production. To illustrate this
, strawberry farming needs a very cool climate and greenhouse conditions if the temperature slightly increases may lead to disaster on the farm. Hence
only available for limited fruits and vegetables lead to nutrient deficiency.
To conclude
, I believe, the intake of local items is more beneficial because improves the lifestyle and health even though access to limited food
and related products
