Many foods are shipped from far away. Some people think that eating local food is more environmentally and economically. Do you think the advantages outweigh its disadvantages?

It is often observed that various foods are either exported or imported from other cities or countries. Many argued that the consumption of local

food

supplies

would benefit our environment and would be cost-effective. I think that the advantages of

this

practice outweigh the drawbacks in terms of sustaining nature and paying a lower price for crops and vegetation. To commence with, one of the major benefits of utilising local

supplies

is minimal

food

wastage. In other terms, when

supplies

get transferred to other places, during the process, a number of

production

gets destroyed, and many vegetables and fruits are produced for quick consumption, packing these products damages numerous crops in transit.

For example

, when producers pack all their

production

for export, they dispose of a large number of vegetables, which do not seem that fresh by appearance, and are later dumped into landfills.

Hence
